Each year, the Foundation awards nearly $250,000 in grants to our community and thousands more in healthcare scholarships to promising men and women aspiring to share their talents in the healthcare community.
In May, the Foundation for Community Care’s volunteer board of directors will provide financial support for local healthcare though grants and the Healthcare Scholarship program. The Foundation is able to offer grants by distributing a portion of the earnings from its Endowment Fund. The Endowment Fund is supported completely by gifts from donors. $229,543.74 was awarded to sixteen area organizations in 2012. These resources have the potential of directly impacting the health of over 17,000 MonDak residents.
The second program offered by the Foundation for Community Care is the annual Healthcare Scholarship program. Area residents pursuing a college degree in a healthcare field who intend to live and work in the area are encouraged to apply for funding. The scholarship program exists to encourage local individuals to become healthcare professionals and to stay here or return here to work after graduation.
Each of these programs assists the Foundation in reaching its mission of helping to ensure the continuance and quality of local healthcare services. Applications can be downloaded from the Foundation’s web-site, http://www.foundationforcommunitycare.org or by calling the Foundation at 406-488-2273. In order to be considered for funding, submissions must be returned to the Foundation for Community Care by 4:00 PM on April 26, 2013.
