VNAF attempts to strike a balance between proactive and reactive
grantmaking. Although we sometimes request proposals or initiate
grants based on our knowledge of the health-related needs and
developments within the communities we serve, often there is
no replacement for the expertise of those on the “front
lines”—our grantee partners. So, we always welcome
unsolicited inquiries and proposal ideas as well. And we approve
and disburse grants at least four times per year, which we hope
allows us to be responsive to the sometimes pressing needs of
the underserved populations served by our grantees.
A successful grant is of as much benefit to a foundation
as it is to a grantee. For VNAF, the special joy in our grantmaking
comes from funding programs and projects which address well
the needs of those who have been the focus of our mission
for over 100 years: the men, women and children of Chicago
who lack access to basic health services. We have been fortunate
enough to be able to accomplish much in our years of grantmaking.
With our partners’ help, we will continue to do so.
