The Responsive Grants Program is the Sisters Health Foundation's open competitive funding pathway for 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations and public institutions serving its 11-county West Virginia and Ohio service area. Grants, which typically average $18,000 to $20,000, support work on the systemic issues that shape health in the region, including transportation access, health care access, and food and housing insecurity.
Applications move through a two-stage process that begins with a letter of intent; the Fall 2026 cycle set a July 15, 2026 letter-of-intent deadline with full applications due September 2, 2026. Funded projects align with the foundation's priority areas of healthy eating and active living, thriving neighborhoods, and mental health and addiction.
