The Healthy Lakewood Foundation (HLF) Board of Directors awarded $212,500 in 2024 funding for its Community Grants program at its July Board meeting. Additionally, the Board committed $170,000 in 2025 funding for eight organizations receiving two-year grants. Overall, twelve area organizations were granted funds to advance programs that address health and well-being in the Lakewood community.
HLF’s Board President Becca Baas explains that “Through HLF's Community Grants Program, we're investing in the vital work of local non-profits making a tangible difference in Lakewood. These organizations work directly in our community to address critical issues like food security, housing stability, and social connections. By providing substantial, multi-year funding, we're not just supporting individual programs – we aim to build the long-term capacity of these essential community partners.”
Additionally, the HLF Board awarded a $55,000 System-Level Grant to the Division of Early Childhood, a program of the City of Lakewood’s Department of Human Services, over two years for the Lakewood Childcare Scholarship program. Funding offers support for children and their families, enabling parents to maintain stable employment while ensuring their children receive high-quality, regulated childcare.
A complete list of the grant awards and project descriptions is available online.
HLF’s next funding opportunity will open in August 2024 and information is available on our website.
