Brandywine Health Foundation‘s 2016 fall grantmaking request for proposals will be available on-line from August 25th for all non-profit organizations in the Greater Coatesville Area that meet the foundation’s strategic priorities.

Brandywine Health Foundation has three key strategic priorities for 2016-2019: Health Equity, Health Youth, and Health Community. The deadline for submissions is October 6th.

Health Equity ensures that each resident of the Greater Coatesville community is given the opportunity to make choices that allow them to live a long and healthy life, no matter their race, ethnicity, gender, disability, income, or background.

Healthy Youth empowers young people in the Greater Coatesville community aged between 12 and 24 to attain and maintain a healthy lifestyle, develop leadership skills and achieve their goals for the future. Healthy Community aims to improve conditions which help impact the health of everyone in Greater Coatesville.

“The Brandywine Health Foundation is committed to strengthening the health and well-being of the greater Coatesville community by providing grant funds to the safety net organizations,” said Margaret Rivello, Brandywine Health Foundation board member and chair of the foundation’s grantmaking committee.

“Our board of directors and grantmaking committee have made the strategic decision to offer this grantmaking opportunity one time a year, during the fall, and look forward to reviewing the numerous applications demonstrating stellar programs and services to individuals in need,” she concluded
