Core Priorities Initiative

Program Overview

The Core Priorities Initiative provides significant support to projects directed at the Pallottine Foundation of Huntington’s four core priorities:

Food Insecurity
Mental and Behavioral Health
Substance Use Disorder
Tobacco Use Prevention and Cessation

Applying for a Core Priorities Initiative grant is a two-stage process that consists of submitting a LOI and, if invited, submitting a full application. A potential applicant also should review our Criteria section to ensure your organization meets the Foundation’s basic eligibility requirements.

Additionally, a potential applicant should review the Core Priority Focus Area to ensure your proposed project is appropriately aligned with at least one of the Core Priorities. The Request for Proposal (RFP) and application guidance can be viewed HERE.

Individual awards will range from $100,000 to $300,000.  The  grant period will be for two years. Due to the size of each grant, applicants must be organizations with experience successfully managing substantive grant-funded projects. Key dates for this application cycle are:

Before submitting a LOI you should contact Laura Boone, Senior Program Officer, at 304-397-5955 ext. 103 or lkboone@pallottinehuntington.org or Jana Stoner, Health Program Officer, at 304-397-5955 ext. 105 or jkstoner@pallottinehuntington.org, to discuss the proposed application. If you are a current recipient of a Core Priorities Initiative grant, contact Laura Boone to determine whether you are eligible to apply again.

Letter of Inquiry (LOI) Guidelines

An applicant seeking funding through the Core Priorities Initiative first must submit a LOI through the Foundation’s grant management system. A LOI submitted through any other format will not be accepted. Click here to establish an Organization Account or login into your existing account to begin the LOI process. For questions about using the grant management system, you may contact Brooke Estep Welch, Grants Manager, at 304-397-5955 ext. 102 or baestep@pallottinehuntington.org.

The purpose of the LOI is to provide the necessary information for the Foundation staff to determine if the proposed project meets the Foundation’s minimum criteria. An organization is encouraged to submit the LOI well in advance of the posted deadline to provide enough time for the Foundation staff to review and respond to the request.

The following information will be requested for the LOI:

  • Project Description and Goals
  • Geographic Area of Service
  • Amount of Funding Request
  • Organizational Budget

All LOIs will receive full consideration and a prompt response indicating whether your organization should move forward with a formal grant application.
