Description
The Community Support Fund, administered by Baptist Health Foundation, supports nonprofit programs that fill measurable gaps in community healthcare across Central Alabama. It helps organizations sustain critical services, expand their impact, and meet unmet healthcare needs. The fund emphasizes collaboration with organizations already serving local communities rather than competing with their work.
Its four priorities are access to healthcare, behavioral health, food insecurity, and educational programs addressing the clinical worker shortage. Supported work includes mobile health clinics, patient navigation, health literacy, recovery support, mental health outreach, disease prevention, and care coordination. Faith-based programs addressing the four priority areas receive preference, but support is not limited to those programs.
