GRANTS & SPONSORSHIPS

At Salinas Valley Health, we are dedicated to providing our region with quality healthcare delivered locally for everyone. We are committed to supporting local organizations and programs that align with our vision for a healthier community.

As a local healthcare district, Salinas Valley Health understands the importance of fostering community initiatives. We offer grant funding and in-kind donations aimed at improving the overall health and wellness of the communities we serve. This community benefit initiative aligns with our Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA), allowing Monterey County residents to access a variety of programs and events.

Through collaboration and support, we can significantly impact the well-being of our community. We encourage organizations and community partners who share our dedication to apply for our community funding opportunities.

Together, we can create a healthier, stronger community.

Salinas Valley Health reserves the right to approve or decline funding requests.
