What We Look for in Grant Proposals

The Logan Healthcare Foundation supports innovative efforts and original projects that offer far-reaching gains and widespread lasting results with explicit, measurable, and identifiable needs that contribute to the community's overall health and well-being. Grant Applicants will be expected to quantify the healthy results expected, how long they are expected to last, and how the project is expected to sustain itself over time. The Logan Healthcare Foundation will look to see if your organization has multiple funders supporting any particular project or program. This is an indication of how the community as a whole supports the grantee's projects or goals.
