Grants

Kaiser Permanente is dedicated to improving the health of people living and working in Kern County. Beyond contributing to strengthening the health care safety net through provision of emergency medical care, charity care, Medi-Cal and Healthy Families services, and Kaiser Permanente charitable coverage programs, we provide qualified nonprofit organizations with grant funding in order to improve the health and well-being of the communities we serve.

Kaiser Permanente Kern County uses an electronic grant application. Grant applications are reviewed by a grants review committee and then funding decisions are made.  One cycle takes place each year and strategic funding priority areas are based on a health needs assessment conducted every three years.

For more information on the Kaiser Permanente Kern County grant process, funding priority areas and eligibility, please visit the Kern County Community Benefit website.
