Rooted in the Community.
Giving to make a difference.
Yuma County is where we live and care for our friends and neighbors. One of the ways we help build a healthier tomorrow is by supporting programs and organizations that make our community a better place to live, work and grow.
The information below will help you understand our funding priorities, eligibility criteria and how to apply for support. We invite you to explore how your organization’s mission aligns with ours — and how, together, we can build a healthier tomorrow for our community.
Funding Source
Donations and sponsorships are funded through Onvida Health’s operating budget and are awarded to non-profit organizations for initiatives that directly address defined community health needs or expand pathways for meaningful community connection. The Community Relations department will evaluate each application based on alignment with guidelines and strategic priorities.
