Who is eligible for a Desert Healthcare District grant?
The District will award grants only to organizations and institutions exempt from federal taxation under Section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code or equivalent exemption; such as a public/governmental agency, program or institution. The programs and/or organizations applying for funding must directly serve residents of the Desert Healthcare District. Although the intent is to serve District residents, it is understood that regional organizations have a significant presence within the District and make a vital contribution to the health of District residents. Accordingly, applicants whose services extend beyond the boundaries of the District are eligible for funds upon demonstration that the residents of the District will be proportionately served.
