PHP Foundation Grantmaking

The PHP Foundation supports nonprofit organizations working to improve the health and wellness of low-income, high-risk individuals across Northeast Indiana. Funds are used to support charitable organizations in the following communities served by PHP: Adams, Allen, DeKalb, Huntington, Kosciusko, LaGrange, Noble, Steuben, Wabash, Wells, and Whitley counties. Beginning in 2026, the Foundation will offer two competitive grant cycles each year—one in the spring and one in the fall—along with a rolling Emergency Grant Program for urgent needs. Collaborative applications are encouraged.
