Mission
The Foundation was established in December 2013 by Kathryn B. McQuade, after retiring from 33 years of working in the business community. I was blessed to have been born into a loving middle class family. My father worked very hard to insure that all of his children were given an opportunity for a good education and my mother, “a stay at home Mom’ was always there for us. My world was safe and comfortable. My life is in stark contrast to how much of the rest of the world lives. I continue to read of the terrible injustices waged against women and children globally and hope that this foundation can provide them the opportunity and resources to succeed. We will support organizations that help us achieve our goal of Striving to make sustainable improvements in women and children’s rights education and welfare.
Kathryn McQuade Foundation Grant
The Foundation will make timely decisions on your grant request and provide clear communications on our expectations of reporting progress.
Women
The Foundation’s goal is to provide women assistance and provide them an opportunity to succeed. Assistance can take many forms, however our goal is to help them become self sufficient and enable them to lift themselves out of poverty and provide for their children. Access to education, job training and professional skills, even access to capital in order to build a business are possible ways we will consider helping women to succeed. Grant requests should focus on enabling the women to sustain financial independence.
We look forward to hearing of the many creative ways organizations are working on helping women succeed through out the world. To help women is to help their children and the communities they live in.
Children
Too many children in the US and across the world live in poverty and lack the access to education. Education and/or appropriate skills training are necessary to break the cycle of poverty and crime. While the assistance to women may take many forms, the foundation’s focus for children will target education and/ or skills training. The Foundation is open to many ideas on how to accomplish this goal and look forward to receiving proposals to help all children achieve their potential.

Community health grants aim to increase healthcare access, reduce health disparities, and improve community well-being. Specific initiatives that funders support are those focused on preventive care, chronic disease management, mental health services, and nutrition programs. These efforts are especially prioritized within populations that are historically underserved and experience more community health challenges.
Funding for community health grants varies widely, with award amounts ranging from a minimum of $300 to a maximum of $2,500,000. Based on Instrumentl’s data, the median grant amount for this category is $25,000, while the average grant awarded is $171,809. Understanding these funding trends can help nonprofits set realistic expectations when applying.
Programs that enhance access to healthcare, address health disparities, or promote general population wellness are eligible for community health grants. Nonprofits, healthcare providers, public health agencies, and community groups can also apply for fundings to support projects in disease prevention, improved health outcomes, and services for underserved communities. Some funders want to prioritize specific programs, like those in rural health, school-based initiatives, or minority health services.
Based on Instrumentl’s live grant database for community health, grant deadlines are most common in Q1, accounting for 32.7% of all submission dates. The slowest period for new grant opportunities in this category falls in Q4, making it a less competitive time for preparation and strategic planning.
Funders for community health grants include government agencies, private foundations, and local health departments. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) funds many public health initiatives from the federal level, while foundations like the Bloomfield Family Foundation and the Immanuel Community Vision Foundation invest in projects targeting epidemiology and public health. State and local health departments may also provide funding to support community health efforts.
