The information provided on this page applies only to potential grantees located in the state of Minnesota. The Medica Foundation recognizes the importance of supporting the unique health needs of individual communities in our grantmaking.
Our overarching principles
Priority will be given to programs that
The Medica Foundation is focused on promoting systemic improvements in health outcomes. Proposals from organizations exhibiting trauma-sensitive practices and using a strengths-based approach to care are preferred.
To request a grant, your organization must be a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, public/governmental agency, or Tribal Nation located in and providing services in Minnesota. A public agency is an organization established and primarily funded by a unit of government. Examples could include a public school, public health department or state governmental agency.
If your organization received a Behavioral Health or Early Childhood Health grant last year or if you have a current strategic grant, you are not eligible to apply for any of those programs this year. Contact us to discuss your program impact and potential for continued short-term funding.
Rural health grant recipients are eligible to apply for funding in consecutive years.
The Medica Foundation considers only single-year grant requests. Nonprofit organizations are eligible to receive one grant within a calendar year.
The areas we don't fund include:
