How it works.

The Funding Focus

The GAH provides financial assistance for individuals with great financial need for acquiring a product or service that has been recommended professionally and would improve their quality of life in a meaningful way. GAH funds are intended to address isolated, solvable problems 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 assistance for any product or service:

• Recommended by a wellness professional to address a particular health need of body, mind or spirit; and

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

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 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. Once we review a referral, we coordinate with the third-party organization 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 involving traditional and alternative approaches to health and wellbeing.
