Funding requirements


The Greater Rochester Health Foundation Board of Directors has adopted the following policies regarding funding:

Capital Costs

The mission of GRHF is to improve the health status of the greater Rochester community. We believe that in order to successfully accomplish this mission we must concentrate our investments in effective program interventions in our areas of focus. Therefore;

  • Proposals that are exclusively for capital expenditures will not be considered by the GRHF.
  • Program proposals that include capital will first be evaluated for the program components, based upon the evaluation metric set forth in the RFP.

Indirect Costs

We recognize that all organizations have indirect costs that must be considered when funding a specific program. These costs are integral to the infrastructure of the organization and necessary to ensure a viable organization. Therefore;

  • The GRHF will consider paying indirect costs that are integral to the infrastructure of the proposed grant.

Should you have any questions regarding these policies, please do not hesitate to contact the foundation office.
