PacificSource Foundation Grant for Health Improvement

The PacificSource Foundation for Health Improvement is an independent, private foundation with a mission to improve access to high-quality healthcare for underserved and vulnerable populations. Established in 1992, it operates across Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and parts of Washington. The foundation is committed to promoting health equity by supporting organizations that work to reduce healthcare disparities through both clinical and community-driven solutions. Funding is directed towards nonprofit, tax-exempt organizations that align with the foundation’s focus areas. This includes access to healthcare services, maternal and infant health, early childhood education, supportive housing, nutrition, and building resilience in communities. While typical grant sizes range from $10,000 to $60,000, multi-year grants are available to organizations that have previously received funding and maintained good standing. The foundation’s grant cycles are structured quarterly. For the Q4 2025 cycle, letters of intent are due by July 15, with full applications invited for submission between August 4 and August 15. Funding notifications are sent by mid-October. Applications must be submitted through the foundation’s online portal. The application process begins with the submission of a letter of intent; only selected applicants will be invited to submit a full proposal. The PacificSource Foundation does not fund events, capital campaigns, or initiatives focused on arts, politics, or faith-based causes. It will consider proposals for expanding program capacity, including key equipment and staffing. Organizations with fewer than three years of funding history with the foundation are limited to one-year grant applications.
