Well Foundation Grants

The Well Foundation Grants support health and wellness programs in Goshen and Elkhart County, distributing around $200,000 annually. Established in 1969, the foundation has a rich history of community involvement and prioritizes proposals addressing significant health needs. Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) organizations and public entities. However, funding is not available for individuals, budget deficits, or religious activities. This initiative aims to enhance healthcare access and improve community well-being.

Over nearly five decades, it awarded more than $6 million to meet health needs throughout the community.
Many of the original volunteers continue to serve as members of the Well Foundation Fund Committee, helping guide grantmaking decisions today.
Each year, the Well Foundation Fund awards approximately $200,000 in grants supporting programs that promote health and wellness in Goshen and across Elkhart County.
