Submitting a Letter of Interest (LOI) is required as the first step in the grant application process. The purpose of the LOI is to acquaint the Foundation with the abilities, interests, and plans of the applicant/applicant coalition prior to requiring completion of the entire grant application process. After thoughtful review of the submitted LOIs, the Foundation invites selected applicants to submit a full grant application. The selected applicants receive additional information and guidance from the Foundation to prepare their complete grant application.

To apply for a grant from The Wellmark Foundation, please review our funding priorities and eligiblity criteria. Proposals must address one of our priority funding areas to be considered. Grant awards of up to $150,000 in grant funding and project periods up to 24 months will be considered. All LOI submissions are required to include the standard cover sheet (Word). For complete information, please review our RFP (pdf).

If you are developing a grant or have questions about the grant process, please feel free to contact The Wellmark Foundation for further assistance:
