San Angelo Health Foundation Grant

NOTE: Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Applicants are asked to submit their proposal a minimum of two to four months prior to the time a decision by our Foundation is needed, and as early as possible, to provide staff the opportunity to adequately research and become familiar with the proposal.
In this regard all community projects are viable. At the same time, the Foundation's origin and history lead the Trustees to make health issues and related programs a high priority.
