YHF Community Grants

To qualify for a grant from the YHF Commitment to Healthcare Community Fund, your community initiative’s primary purpose is to improve the provision of healthcare within the Tri-Counties and must meet the following criteria:

  • be a registered charity or a recognized non-profit organization in Yarmouth, Shelburne, or Digby counties
  • clearly enhance healthcare services, projects, or programs within the Tri-Counties
  • clearly show future funding stability without the need for a repeat grant
  • intend to use the grant to improve healthcare services, not to replace alternate sources of core funding from municipalities, or either the provincial or federal government
  • align with the priorities of Nova Scotia Health
  • come with a letter of endorsement from a qualified health services specialist (excluding elected officials)

     

    Preference will be given to projects that:

    • will only require a one-time contribution to their project or program
    • are established and can show additional partners and resources beyond this grant
