How it works.

The Funding Focus

The GAH provides financial aid for individuals with great financial need for acquiring a product or service that has been recommended professionally and would improve their health and quality of life in a meaningful way. GAH funds are intended to address isolated problems that could be solved with a single award. Situations requiring ongoing funding or that would not be solved with a single award are not eligible.

What we Support

The GAH provides financial aid for any product or service that:

• Is recommended by a wellness professional to address a particular health situation;

• Is not covered by the person's health insurance and otherwise is not affordable with personal resources; and

• Will resolve an isolated health problem.

We will consider countless possible needs and accommodate a wide range of traditional and non-traditional approaches. We do not provide a list of what we do or do not fund because the possibilities are endless. What's important is that there is a meaningful connection made between what is requested and the prospect for enhancing the person's health and quality of life.

The Funding Process

To receive an award, you must be referred to the GAH through a third-party qualified non-profit organization. This potentially could be any type of organization that works with individuals in need and agrees to make thoughtful referrals to the GAH. We often work with churches and social service organizations. The referring organization must be able to vouch for your financial need. Once we review a referral, we coordinate with that organization and the health provider to make the award.

our Advisors

The Fund Advisory Council reviews prospective award recipients, third party referring organizations and product or service providers for participation in the funding program. Advisory Council members represent a variety of professions.
