Community Health Donation Program
In keeping with the mission of Mille Lacs Area Health Foundation to support the diverse and changing health care needs of the Mille Las area, the Board of Directors established a donation program. Donations are made periodically from the general fund account of the Foundation to assist local non-profit agencies in addressing significant regional health and wellness issues.
A sub-committee of the Board of Directors of the Foundation a cross-section of the community has established the guidelines and criteria for the donation program. The committee will consider programs that address any health-related issues, although priority will be given to projects developed by departments of Mille Lacs Health System that benefit the general community, youth, and family-related health problems, and prevention projects.
APPLICATIONS WILL BE REVIEWED THREE TIMES A YEAR
AND ARE DUE TO THE FOUNDATION OFFICE ON APRIL 1ST, AUGUST 1ST, AND DECEMBER 1ST.
Awarded DONATIONS will be distributed in May, September and January.
Funding Considerations:
Reliability, past record, the mission of the organization
