Inspired Support for Our Community
Each budget year, Inspire Health Medical Group will accept applications from our core faculty physicians requesting financial support for nonprofit organizations in our community. The request deadline will take place once a year. Please note, that only one funding request for a nonprofit may be submitted each fiscal year.
All received submissions will be compiled for review with recommendations provided to the Board of Directors for final approval. These recommendations will be submitted once a year. Core faculty may submit event-related sponsorship requests that are under $1,500 throughout the year.
While each request submitted will be considered, limited funding is available, and some requests may not receive funding. We welcome new requests that meet the qualifications listed below, each fiscal year, even for those applications that were previously denied.
Any request over the amount of $1,500 may be required to undergo an additional review process, including but not limited to, an in-person or virtual presentation and review meeting in which the application will be considered.
