The application window is open from July 20 through September 18, 2026. Grantees will be notified in January 2027, with projects scheduled to run from April 2027 to March 2028.

Grant proposals should align with key needs identified in St. Luke’s Health’s most recent Community Health Needs Assessment. Priorities for funding include:

"We are consistently inspired by the impactful work of non-profit organizations in our communities," said Fawn Preuss, Regional Director for Community Health & Benefits for CommonSpirit Health. "These grants foster critical partnerships, enabling us to collaboratively address pressing health disparities and create sustainable change. We encourage both established and emerging organizations whose missions align with our priorities to apply."
