HealthEquity Community Foundation Awards $35,000 in New Grants

DRAPER, Utah, May 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The HealthEquity Community Foundation™ today announced the recipients of its second round of community grants, awarding $35,000 across 14 nonprofit organizations. Each selected organization will receive a $2,500 grant to support critical work in one or more of the Foundation’s core areas: health and medicine, financial education and literacy, mental health and crisis support, and basic human needs.

The Foundation's next grant application cycle will open on August 1, 2025 and eligible 501(c)(3) charitable organizations are encouraged to apply via the Foundation’s website: HealthEquity.com/community-foundation.

“We are proud to support these outstanding nonprofits who are advancing meaningful impact in their communities,” said Dale Miller, President of the HealthEquity Community Foundation. “These grant awards reflect our continued investment in addressing essential needs, from food insecurity to housing, financial education and literacy, and healthcare access.”

Among this cycle’s recipients are national organizations that include Ronald McDonald House-Charities of Kentuckiana, where a $2,500 grant from the Foundation will provide 18 nights of lodging and comfort, directly supporting the well-being of families whose children are receiving vital medical care.

“Thanks to HealthEquity Community Foundation’s generous support and friendship, a family traveling to Louisville for their child’s medical care will receive 18 nights of free lodging, comfort, and support at Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kentuckiana. During their stay, the family will have access to everything they need - from private guestrooms and home-cooked meals to laundry facilities and play areas - so they can focus on what matters most: the health and care of their child," said Susan Skolnick, Chief Development Officer, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kentuckiana
