Our grants primarily support projects in the states of Oregon and Hawaii. We focus on Environmental Conservation and/or The Well Being of Children. If your project is involved in one or both of these criteria, you have 501 (c) (3) IRS status, and you have an interest in our application process, we invite you to read on.

Our Application process has three steps. Here's how to apply:

1. First, go to Download Forms and fill in all requested information on our Grant Consideration Application. Once completed, print and submit as instructed. Your information will be included in a first round review by our Executive Committee.
2. If there is further interest, you will be invited to complete a Grant Application Form. Your application will then be included in the second round and reviewed by all board members.
3. The final grant decisions are made at the next scheduled board meeting by our full board.

We respect your time and effort in preparing your application and will keep you apprised of your standing in a timely manner. Applications may be submitted at any time during the year, but we ask that you submit only one per year.

Change is good:

The Bill Healy Foundation stepped into the world of philanthropy in 1996. Over the last 9 years we have enjoyed a wonderful learning curve through giving. We have helped support both small and large projects primarily serving communities in the states of Oregon and Hawaii with a Small Grants program.

In 2007 the next chapter of our Founder's vision came to fruition when the foundation received a $25,000,000 endowment. Beginning in 2008 the foundation will be adding to its traditional structure of giving. We will continue to offer our Small Grants program and in addition we will initiate a Large and Multi-Year Grants program.

NEW! On-Line Grant Applications:

In the fall of 2007, we will launch our new on-line application process through a web-based system. Our goal is to provide grantseekers with the most efficient and time effective means for requesting funds.

You're Invited:

Traditionally our grant instructions specify that our grant recipients must submit a One Year Report before they are eligible to re-apply, therefore limiting application requests to every other year. For the granting year of 2008, we will waive this restriction. Everyone who meets our criteria will be eligible to apply in 2008. In 2009 we will resume our established rule of one application per year with a subsequent one year report.
