Investing and Partnering for the Future

We realize no agency can effectively confront all community issues alone. That’s why we seek promising partnerships with hundreds of service and social organizations that reach out to families and individuals in need.

Sponsorship and contribution requests

Though we admire all worthy projects, we receive far more requests than we can grant. Given the volume of important causes, we believe it’s essential to have clear, meaningful guidelines for evaluating requests in accordance with our mission, and those of our partners, priorities for giving, geographical locations and budget capacity.

To be eligible, your organization must offer one of the following:

• Programs that benefit communities living with or affected by HIV/HepC/STIs in our service areas.
• Programs that provide food, shelter, healthcare, or basic services for those living with or affected by HIV/HepC/STIs.
• Projects that satisfy unmet needs in the community without duplicating other HIV/HepC/STIs programs or services.
• Projects or programs that support health equity for all.
• Initiatives that align with CAN Community Health’s mission, vision, and values.

Additionally, all organizations must have:

• 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. Please Note: While organizations that do not hold a 501(c)(3) status may not be automatically disqualified, those with a 501(c)(3) status will be prioritized. Organizations without a 501(c)(3) status will be reviewed separately by the marketing department.
• Complete Donation Request with all required documentation.
• W-9 Form (signed and dated within 6 months of application).
• IRS(C)3 tax letter.
• Board of Directors and Management rosters.
• Sponsorship benefit package attached, with all available sponsorship levels outlined.
• Program requests that clearly define and measure goals.

Application Guidelines:

• All requests for contributions must be submitted using this form.
• There is no need to follow up on the status of your application. All organizations will receive confirmation after funding decisions have been made.
• Organizations receiving gifts of $1,000 or more are required to submit a progress report within 30 days of the completion of the event, program or project.
• Sponsorship awards are available up to $10,000 per event.
• Applications for sponsorships are accepted on a semi-annual basis based on availability of funding. It is highly recommended that your organization submit a sponsorship application at least 90 days in advance of the date the funding is needed. Please note that this is a very competitive process which receives many requests.
• Sponsorships are granted for one year (July - June) unless otherwise specified. Recipients are responsible for requesting renewed support, with each request considered anew and compared with other requests received for that year. Please note the sponsorship application process or deadline may very.
• All granted sponsorships for any and all projects, programs, and events must take place before June 30th, 2025.
