The Grossmont Healthcare District has awarded more than $36M in grants, sponsorships, and scholarships since the Community Grants Program began in 1996. Those public monies have benefited community-based service providers, educational institutions, and the Grossmont Hospital (operated by Sharp HealthCare). The sole source of funding the District receives is through property tax dollars from district residents in East San Diego County. As such, District grants and sponsorships are a reinvestment of those tax dollars back into the community. 

APPLICATION PERIOD: JULY 1 - AUGUST 31, 2025

The FY25-26 Grants and Sponsorships Policy document provides a detailed overview of organization and program requirements, funding priorities, the application process, the scoring and review process, and post-award procedures. Once logged into Submittable, you may review each application (Simplified Grants for requests of $25,000 or less, Full Grants, and Sponsorships) in their entirety before beginning the application process. The program will automatically save your work, so that you may revisit a draft in progress at any time. Once submitted, you will be able to check back on the status of your application as it moves through the process of staff review, committee recommendation, and Board vote. 

We anticipate that all grant funding decisions will be finalized and announced by the end of calendar year 2025. Sponsorship requests may be submitted throughout the fiscal year, or until the FY25-26 budget has been committed. This page will be kept updated accordingly.
