Grant Information
The Wellmark Foundation’s goal is to be a catalyst in bringing groups together to positively impact health within a community. Match grant funding focuses on sustainable initiatives — projects that continue after our grant funding ends — targeting access to and consumption of nutritious foods and creating safe and healthy environments in which to be active.
The program funds initiatives in Iowa and South Dakota.
Our Small MATCH Grants are for projects across Iowa and South Dakota that focus on a sustainable solution to the access and consumption of healthy foods or create environments that encourage physical activity. Our Small MATCH Grant cycle considers requests up to $25,000 and most will be matched at half the requested amount. Applications for the Small MATCH Grants are due Friday, June 5, 2020.
