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.
