Virginia Health Care Foundation grants are awarded in two cycles each year, in the spring and fall. There are three steps to the VHCF grant application process.

Step One:  Determine if your organization and the project you're proposing meet general eligibility requirements, and review the VHCF Grant Guidelines.

Step Two:  If your organization and project meet the general eligibility requirements for a VHCF grant, submit a concept paper.

Step Three:  If VHCF invites your organization to develop your concept further, submit a formal proposal.  (Note:  please do not submit a formal proposal if your organization has not been requested to do so.)

Please note that an invitation to submit a concept paper or a formal proposal does not guarantee funding for a project.

Grant awards are assured only after:

• the application/review process is complete,
• the VHCF Board of Trustees has made final determinations regarding awards, and
• a satisfactory letter of agreement has been signed by all appropriate parties.
