        The Georgia Health Foundation was created in 1985 through the conversion of the Georgia Medical Plan, Georgia’s first nonprofit health maintenance organization, to an independent, private foundation.

        The eight-member board of directors meets regularly throughout the year and considers proposals received and recommendations offered by the Proposal Evaluation Committee.

        Grants are most often awarded in August, and are paid to the recipients in December at the Foundation’s Annual Awards Luncheon.

        The Awards Luncheon provides a time for the year’s grant recipients to come together to exchange ideas and learn from one another.  Collaboration, cooperation and joint venturing among organizations is encouraged.

         The Foundation awards grants within a broad scope of health-related areas to tax-exempt organizations operating exclusively for charitable, scientific, and/or educational purposes.

      Grants are directed only within the State of Georgia.  Consideration is given to proposals that are of local importance and to opportunities that may address regional and national issues.

      While the Foundation should not be considered a source of continuing support, it seeks to encourage programs that have a high potential of becoming permanent.
