Community Grants

Through our Commitment to Healthcare Community Fund, the Yarmouth Hospital Foundation aims to help the community at the ground level. The grants issued from this fund help organizations throughout the region with any healthcare-related initiative they may be undertaking. See below for examples of past grant recipients!

To Qualify
To qualify for a grant from the Yarmouth Hospital Foundation 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
