Community Benefit Grantmaking
Our vision is that Kaiser Permanente will play a leading role in addressing the needs of the low-income and underserved - so that all people live in healthy, vibrant communities with access to quality health care.
Northern California Regional Grantmaking Priorities
At a time when communities and community organizations are significantly impacted by the economic downturn, we are focusing Northern California Regional grantmaking to emphasize support for:
- Access to health care and health coverage for those in need, the majority of our $600 million regional Community Benefit budget.
- Essential health and human services, including support for the safety net of community clinics, public hospitals and health systems.
- Prevention for serious public health issues that increase during times of crisis, including violence and obesity.
Regional, Local and National Grants
Kaiser Permanente grants are offered to non-profit organizations and public agencies based on the location of their programs and services.
- Regional: The majority of our regional grantmaking is initiated by Kaiser Permanente to address identified community needs. On a smaller scale, we are also able to respond to some grant requests from our communities for programs serving three or more service areas.
- Local: A local grant supports an organization in one specific area, such as Fresno. These grants are administered by Kaiser Permanente's 13 local Community Benefit programs throughout Northern California.
- National: Kaiser Permanente also has a national grantmaking program for nonprofits with a wider geographic scope.
