Grants & Sponsorships
Since its formation in 1946, Healthy Petaluma has invested in programs, services, and organizations that improve the health and well-being of our residents.
Healthy Petaluma is uniquely positioned to understand the health priorities of southern Sonoma County. We’re committed to allocating funds to support our community’s greatest health needs.
The Healthy Petaluma Foundation is excited to announce the Youth and Young Adult Wellbeing Grant Program to support the emotional, mental, and physical health of the youth in our community.
The Grant Program focuses on four areas of youth wellbeing including Emotional Resilience, Mental Health Early Support, Physical Health, and Substance Abuse Prevention. Applicants can apply for a grant of up to $75,000 that will support meaningful impact in at least one of the areas of focus and be sustainable when the grant funding is expended after one year.

Healthy Petaluma 2023 Grant Program
Fall of 2023 we launched the Healthy Petaluma Foundation General Operating Support (GOS) Grants Program for non-profits, public agencies, and other institutions serving the Healthy Petaluma service area in southern Sonoma County. This GOS grant supports organizations that prioritize the equitable treatment, prevention, promotion, or early intervention for mental health. We received 24 submissions and awarded 18 grantees, totaling $285,000 in funding.
As part of the grant giving process, Healthy Petaluma is offering scholarships to organizations that submitted a grant proposal to attend a Sonoma State University Grant Writing Workshop as many of the applicants identified a need for grant writing support.
