Community Investment Program
Large Grant Application Period: January 1 – March 1, 2026
CCM Health’s Community Investment Program (CIP) is one of the ways we demonstrate our commitment to being an engaged and supportive community partner. With $35,000 allocated annually, this program provides funding for local initiatives that align with our mission to improve health and enhance quality of life in the communities we serve.
Applications for large grants (more than $200) are accepted from January 1 through March 1, 2026. Please submit your application using the form linked in the left menu.
The Community Investment Advisory Committee (CIAC) oversees this program and reviews requests based on alignment with CCM Health’s mission, responsible use of resources, and measurable community impact. Smaller community requests (under $200) are reviewed monthly.
Funding Guidelines
Eligible organizations and projects should:
- Align with CCM Health’s mission, strategic direction, or clinical priorities.
- Demonstrate clear goals, measurable outcomes, and strong fiscal responsibility.
- Address a defined community need or fill a gap in existing services.

Funding will not support services that compete with CCM Health, promote religious or political causes, or sponsor individual participants.
Examples of Eligible Initiatives
- Health and wellness programs (e.g., diabetes prevention, fitness, smoking cessation)
- Youth and child safety or development programs
- Educational initiatives and scholarships for future healthcare professionals
- Human service, arts, and civic programs that enrich community life
