COVID-19 Information

HFL will begin accepting grant applications on January 10, 2025.

HFL suggests no more than two grant requests per year per organization.

Yes. Please contact us with any questions.

HFL only accepts applications through our grant portal. Applications sent by any other means will not be considered.

To request a grant of $10,000 or less, login to the grant portal and click on “Grants up to $10,000” to begin your application. Please note that the application and reporting for grants up to $10,000 is simpler than those for grant requests over $10,000, for which there are two distinct processes (Grants of $10,001 to $25,000 and Grants over $25,000).

To request a grant that is between $10,001 and $25,000, login to the grant portal and click on "Grants of $10,001 to $25,000" to begin your application.

For requests over $25,000, applicants must login to the grant portal and click on “Grants over $25,000.” Applications to apply for a grant over $25,000 require a Letter of Inquiry (LOI) as a first step. A LOI is an abbreviated description of your proposed project or program. It is not a vague exploration of an idea. It is assumed that you have already thought through your proposed project/program (including a budget). Invitations to proceed to the full application will be sent out to applicants. If invited to proceed, full applications must be submitted before the close of the application cycle. HFL will respond to all LOIs within 7 days. Applicants may receive a request for further information. Please note: Requests for grants over $25,000 must address one of HFL’s strategic priorities of Healthy Children, Healthy Living, or Healthy Minds. HFL does not provide Healthy La Porte grants over $25,000.

To request a Healthy La Porte grant, login to the grant portal and click on “Grants up to $10,000” or "Grants of $10,001 to $25,000" to begin your application. Please note that the "Grants up to $10,000" has a simpler application form and reporting requirements to align with the amount requested. Proposed projects and programs attend health and wellness needs that fall outside of HFL’s strategic priorities of Healthy Children, Healthy Living, and Healthy Minds. Please note: HFL does not provide Healthy La Porte grants over $25,000.

The Collaborate feature on HFL’s Grant Portal The Collaborate feature can help when: • More than one person from an organization needs to work on a request. • An applicant or grantee needs someone else to upload a document, fill out certainquestions, or sign off on their request (e.g., a fiscal sponsor, executive director). • An applicant or grantee needs an efficient way for someone else to view, edit, and/or submit their application or follow-up form (e.g., a grant agreement, final report).
