COMMUNITY IMPACT DONATIONS

The Willamette Health Council is pleased to launch our new Community Impact Donations Program. Partners serving the Marion-Polk community are eligible to apply using a low-barrier application process. 

Donation Request Parameters

  • Requests must demonstrate alignment with the health council’s mission, which is to improve the health of the Marion-Polk community by governing our CCO, investing in our communities, and fostering collaborative relationships.
  • Organizations may apply for up to $10,000 per request and may be awarded no more than two donations per calendar year.
  • If not awarded a donation in a given month, organizations may re-submit the same request at a later month.
  • Donations are intended to support immediate needs within the community and are awarded on a one-time basis. Donations are not intended to support on-going operations.
  • For organizations seeking event sponsorship, email info@willamettehealthcouncil.org to schedule time to discuss your request. Event sponsorships are not eligible for funding through this donation program.

How to Submit a Donation Request

Organizations with requests that fit within the above parameters can apply using the WHC’s online system. Organizations applying for funding to the WHC for the first time are required to create an account within this system. Those who are returning applicants should utilize their organization’s existing account.
