The 2025 grants included support for academic programs, healthcare access, health education and resources, violence prevention and community programs. One grantee, Erie Family Health Center, describes its own mission as providing high-quality, affordable care to support healthier people, families and communities, motivated by the belief that healthcare is a human right.

Awards are one-time support for projects to be completed within a year, and an organization may receive only one donation per Northwestern Medicine fiscal year, which runs September 1 through August 31. Event sponsorships such as galas, annual dinners and athletic activities are not funded. Eligible applicants include qualifying community-based organizations, schools and government agencies located in and primarily serving residents of a Northwestern Medicine Community Service Area. Requests should explain the organization’s mission and vision as they relate to community health and how the funding would help. The application process can take up to 45 days. Recipients of awards over $250 must submit a stewardship report after spending the funds or by the following August 31, whichever comes first.
