For Nonprofits

Creating community health is at the core of Beacon Health System’s mission. We believe promoting responsible, preventive health in our community is the right thing to do, and is key to long-term cost effectiveness. Improving the health of our region’s residents is as much social, economic and environmental as it is a medical issue. 

When we look at changing the health of our community members, we look at it in three ways:

•  focusing on the priorities identified in our latest Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA)
• strengthening our communities’ capacity to promote health and well-being of residents 
• engaging those who are most at risk and/or vulnerable. 

Beacon Community Impact supports the efforts of nonprofits in the Beacon community (Elkhart, Marshall and St. Joseph counties) through both financial and technical assistance. To be considered for support applicants must:

• deliver service within the three county area
• contribute to creating an impact in one of the defined CHNA priority areas
• be an established 501(c)3 organization
