Grants Program

Alliance Healthcare Foundation’s grantmaking activities focus strategically on funding organizations whose programs benefit the poor and working poor, children, and the homeless. Programs should improve access to primary and specialty care, mental health and substance abuse services, and use innovative and collaborative methods to get real results. We are committed to serving the most vulnerable populations in the San Diego area through funding projects and programs that address access to healthcare, with a focus on increasing the capacity and coordination of the healthcare delivery system.

We are committed to the principle that everyone should have access to appropriate, quality, and timely care. We seek to partner with organizations that further this goal. Our ultimate measure of success will be improvements in health outcomes for individuals and families, as well as a more robust healthcare safety net and strong public health infrastructure that will benefit every San Diegan.
