Community Foundations
Many community foundations provide program assistance in areas
such as strategic planning, community needs assessment, and program
evaluation. Community foundations often fund local health-related
initiatives and also can suggest key business and community people
to contact regarding your project. For up-to-date Grantsmanship

Conversion Foundations
A conversion foundation is a new health foundation that is created
when a nonprofit hospital, health maintenance organization (HMO),
or health insurance plan sells or otherwise transfers its assets
to another corporation. Most conversion foundations primarily
fund health-related projects that are targeted toward a defined
geographic area. In 2003, Grantmakers in Health conducted a survey
to identify conversion foundations. To review a profile of these
foundations, visit http://www.gih.org/usr_doc/2003_Profile_Report.pdf.
