System change takes time. In an effort to better support developing organizations and coalitions, Vitalyst provides Spark Grants, ranging from $10,000 to $20,000 and lasting up to 1 year. Watch the short recording below from our Grant Information session to get a snapshot of information about the Spark Grants.

Invitations to submit a Spark Grant Proposal follow talking with a Vitalyst Director to make sure the proposed project is a fit for the Spark Grants. The first step is The Vitalyst Discovery Process. It is through the Discovery Process that we learn more about potential partnerships and how Vitalyst can best support organizations working to improve community health. The three-step, online process takes between 15-20 minutes to complete.
