Here is today’s daily featured foundation.

Mat-Su Health Foundation

Website: https://www.healthymatsu.org/

Mission & Purpose: To improve the health and wellness of Alaskans living in the Matanuska-Susitna (Mat-Su) Borough. They seek to ensure that all persons have the opportunity for a healthy life by addressing health equity and the social determinants of health.

Broad Funding Guidelines: Grantmaking is geographically focused exclusively on the Mat-Su Borough in Alaska. They are a major provider of community grants for nonprofit organizations, tribal entities, and local governments. They offer General Operating Support, capacity building, and capital project funding. Their grant application process is split by request size, accepting applications year-round.

Featured Opportunity: The "Healthy Impact Grants" (for requests over $25,000) are a cornerstone for large-scale change. The process begins with a simple "Project Pitch." This is an excellent funding opportunity for organizations tackling root causes like housing insecurity, behavioral health access, or domestic violence prevention.

Recommendation: A social service agency or tribal health organization in the Mat-Su Borough seeking significant operating support to expand behavioral health or crisis intervention services for local residents.
