Community Seva Inc. is a Health Partnership Grant Awardee
Health Trust announced the first cycle of grant awardees for Fiscal Year 2025, approving six Health Partnership Grants totaling $600,000. As part of a new multi-year funding strategy, these grants aim to strengthen organizations providing critical services that support the health and well-being of the community.
The Health Trust’s three-year strategy was developed in response to feedback from grantee partners who expressed concern over the challenges posed by yearly fundraising in an uncertain economic climate. Community needs have continued to reflect the heightened demands seen during the pandemic.
“Our new multi-year strategy demonstrates our commitment to creating long-lasting solutions for our community,” said Amy Chan, Interim CEO of The Health Trust. “We listened to our partners, and this approach enables them to plan more strategically, strengthen their capacity, and provide continuous support to those who need it most. With this strategy, our grantees can concentrate on delivering critical services without the ongoing challenge of short-term fundraising.”
Health Partnership Grant Awards
Health Partnership Grants support organizations, programs, and projects for medically-related purposes that align with The Health Trust’s mission and focus areas of food and nutrition, chronic disease prevention and management, and housing support, and other approaches to building health equity.
Community Seva was one of the Health Partnership Grant Awards
“Community Seva feeds the hungry and the unhoused with daily nutritious hot meals, distributed to individuals and families living on the streets—those living in encampments, safe parking lots, shelters, community hotspots and other locations, prioritizing families, women, and veterans. Their grant from The Health Trust will provide hot, nutritious meals to the unhoused community, through capacity and operational support of their new centralized kitchen, Seva Kitchen.”
