Grant and Funding Programs Offered by Northern Health Authority

Northern Health Authority is the regional health authority serving Northern British Columbia and a funder of community-led prevention and wellness projects. Through programs such as IMAGINE community grants, Rural, Remote and Indigenous Food Action grants, and Falls Prevention and Healthy Aging grants, Northern Health supports local organizations, Indigenous communities, municipalities, schools and service agencies working on health equity, food security, mental wellness, active living, harm reduction, climate health action and healthy aging. In the funding ecosystem, Northern Health is important because it moves health investment upstream into communities before needs become acute clinical demand. Its grants help grassroots groups test practical ideas, build partnerships, address local determinants of health and create projects that can last after a small funding cycle ends. This community-health funding complements hospitals and public programs by giving residents and local organizations resources to shape healthier environments across a vast rural and northern region.
