The Grossmont Healthcare District's Community Grants Program began in 1996, benefitting community-based organizations, educational institutions, and Grossmont Hospital. The sole source of funding GHD receives is through property tax dollars from East San Diego County residents. As such, District grants and sponsorships are a reinvestment of public funds back into the community.
As laid out in the agency's 2022-25 Strategic Plan, the program prioritizes the top community health needs in San Diego’s East County region, as identified by the most recent Community Health Needs Assessment: aging concerns, behavioral health, and the chronic conditions of heart disease, cancer, and stroke.
Priority consideration will be given to applications for projects that provide direct, hands-on care, and from nonprofit organizations that have not been receiving funding from GHD for five or more consecutive years. In all instances, the Community Grants & Sponsorships Committee and Board of Directors will consider those needs that are unique and beneficial to the District's residents.
