The Pallottine Foundation of Huntington makes grants to nonprofit, tax-exempt organizations principally administering health-related programming. To be eligible, an organization must have received an Internal Revenue Service Determination Letter indicating that it is an organization described in Section 501(c)(3).

Most churches are defined as tax-exempt in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service code and are eligible to apply. Please note that the Foundation does not make grants in support of religious purposes.

Each funding initiative has its own range and limits. Awards in the Healthy Communities Initiative range from $3,500 to $50,000, and the Core Priorities Initiative range from $100,000 to $300,000.

Healthy Communities Initiative awards must be spent over a period of up to one year. Core Priorities Initiative awards support activities for a period of up to two years. Grants are not renewable; however, grantees may apply again in future funding cycles for additional funding for the same project or a new project.

Each Pallottine Foundation of Huntington grant initiative has a set application cycle window when an organization can apply for funding. Applications are only accepted during these specific windows, and an organization may apply only once during each application cycle.

Yes. The Pallottine Foundation of Huntington will allow organizations to have more than one open grant. The Foundation’s only exception is that current Core Priorities Initiative grantees must contact the member of the program team before submitting another Core Priorities request.

Yes. The Pallottine Foundation of Huntington may choose to support requests at a level equal to or less than the amount requested. If an amount less than requested is approved, the Foundation will discuss this thoroughly with the applicant and make sure that the award can be done with appropriate adjustments to the original proposal.

No. While it is preferred, we understand that there are legitimate reasons why having a certified audit done may be difficult.

We focus our resources on those organizations that align with our Mission, Vision, and Values and focus areas, as well as those possessing a demonstrable level of sound leadership and infrastructure.

Successful applicants are able to clearly articulate the goals they hope to achieve and exactly what infrastructure or process they have in place or will establish to measure the success of those goals. The Foundation will work with grantees to ensure mutually agreeable measures.
