The WALK FOR YOUR HEART FOUNDATION makes grants to assist organizations that work in the areas of health, human services, and education. The foundation gives highest priority to activities that provide greater access to people who are economically disadvantaged and underserved. Of particular interest to the Foundation are applications that specifically address the needs of low-income children and youth, older adults, and people affected by disabilities and homelessness. The Foundation also funds activities that benefit the general community and improve the quality of life for the global community.

Grant Application requirements is that an organization that is certified as tax exempt under Section 501(c) (3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and is not a private foundation as defined in section 509(a) of that Code is eligible for consideration. The Foundation does not fund Section 509(a) (3) Type III non-functionally integrated supporting organizations.
Audited financial statements for the most recently completed fiscal year are required of all organizations in existence for more than five years and with operating income of $500,000 or more. Organizations with annual income under $500,000 or agencies founded within the last five years must submit an independent review of their financial statements, completed by a CPA. Small Grant applicants that cannot meet the financial documentation requirements may be eligible for a one-time exemption on a case-by-case basis upon review of the full application.
The level of Board engagement and financial support are important factors that are considered during the review process of all applications. 

TYPES OF SUPPORT:  Core support is unrestricted funding that enables an organization to carry out its mission. It can be used to underwrite administrative infrastructure and/or to maintain core programs and essential staff. Most core support grants are awarded over a two-year period.  Capital support is for specific projects with capital expenditures. Funding is available to support land, facility, equipment purchases, renovations, or new construction. Structure support is for new or enhanced activities aimed at strengthening an organization’s programmatic and/or administrative capacity. Projects must evidence a credible plan for sustaining costs. Program is for new, expansion or enhancement program requests. Projects must evidence a viable fundraising and sustainability plan.

DURATION OF GRANTS:  Foundation grants are awarded for the period of time necessary to complete the proposed outcomes, with most grants ranging between one and two years. Core support grants are generally made for a two-year period.

Generally, grantees must wait one year from the end of their grant period before being able to re-apply for a new Foundation grant. Please note that the Foundation generally does not approve grants to organizations on a continuing annual basis.

FUNDING AMOUNTS:
While requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, applicants should note that as a general practice, the Foundation does not fund the total cost of a capital, program, or capacity building budget. Requests should be proportional to the amount of the specific capital, program, or capacity building budget, and in the case of core support, the size of the agency’s operating budget.

Applicants should request a grant amount that is consistent with a thoughtful and sustainable fund raising strategy. The information below is intended to provide general guidance. Based on individual circumstances, the Foundation’s Board of Directors will use flexibility and apply individual judgment to each request.
