Mini Grants

September 2020 – Present

Learn More

Mini-grants are funds for small nonprofits and individuals to support healthy eating, physical activity, and access to care among Palm Beach County residents. Healthier Together provides mentoring and grantwriting workshops as well as a platform to network and collaborate.

How We Help

By sharing their voice, community members have confirmed what Palm Health Foundation already knew, that many experience a lack of access to healthy food, safe spaces to walk outside, reliable transportation, and a multitude of other challenges that contribute to poor health outcomes.

After hearing their stories, Palm Health Foundation established The Neighbors Helping Neighbors Fund to assist our community’s most vulnerable residents. This fund puts small grants directly into the hands of residents who are struggling to pay their rent, access food, receive medical treatment and more. This fund will aid in efforts to help our neighbors recover, rebuild and plan for the future. Learn More
