Dear Community Agency Representative:

Tri-City Healthcare District (TCHD) is committed to working collaboratively to improve health and well being in our community.

Each year the Board of Directors of the Tri-City Healthcare District allocates funds for healthcare projects of non-profit agencies located in and serving the citizens of the cities of Carlsbad, Oceanside, and Vista. Last year, Tri-City Healthcare District awarded grants totaling $300,000 in support of 20 community healthcare programs. Grants ranged from $5,000 to $30,000.

This year $300,000 is available to be distributed in a competitive grant making process. Excluded from consideration are hospitals, hospital districts, and government agencies.

Tri-City Healthcare District will consider projects that address priority issues as identified by the Mission and Community Outreach Committee, a committee of the Tri-City Healthcare Board of Directors. Priorities are listed in the following guidelines.

If, after reviewing the guidelines, you believe your agency meets our requirements and your project matches our priorities, you are invited to submit an application by Friday, January 12, 2007.

Sincerely,

Arthur A. Gonzalez, Dr. P.H., FACHE
President and CEO
