INTRODUCTION

The 2012 Grant Cycle Application and Guidelines will be released online on Friday, April 2nd.

In May 2002, the Los Alamos Medical Center was sold by Banner Health Systems, a non-profit corporation, to Province HealthCare, a for-profit corporation. Some proceeds from the sale of Los Alamos Medical Center (LAMC) were preserved to serve the unmet healthcare needs of the people of Los Alamos, Rio Arriba and northern Santa Fe counties.

*Please note that Northern Santa Fe County is defined as towns and pueblos north of the city of Santa Fe and does not include the city of Santa Fe.

Con Alma Health Foundation and the Hospital Auxiliary for LAMC, working as the Northern New Mexico Health Grant Group (NNMHGG) distribute the investment income from those proceeds for grants that target the populations traditionally served by LAMC.

NNMHGG awards for non-continuing grants of $20,000 or less to organizations that meet the following conditions:

• The project must serve the target geographic area of Rio Arriba, Northern Santa Fe, and/or Los Alamos counties
• The project must have at least one other funding source
• The funds requested cannot supplant or replace public or private funding, e.g., current salaries of project staff
• The requesting/funded organization must have current 501(c)(3) status
• Preference will be given to projects addressing health needs left unmet by the sale of the Los Alamos Medical Center

NNMHGG does not fund capital campaigns, annual fund-raising campaigns, endowments, event sponsorships, clinical research, scholarships, routine operational costs, lobbying, media-based programs or campaigns, political campaign activities, or direct financial subsidy of health services to individuals or groups.
