Mini-Grants

The Mini‑Grant Program

The Adirondack Health Foundation’s Mini-Grants Program provides small, high-impact funding awards to Adirondack Health departments, staff-led projects, and community partners who are working to improve health, wellness, and patient experience across our region.


These grants support innovative ideas that make a measurable difference — from new equipment and programming to pilot projects that enhance care delivery and community health.


Our goal is simple: empower great ideas that elevate patient care and advance our mission.
