Event sponsorship request
Health Forward Foundation dedicates a limited amount of funds each year to sponsor select events that further our mission and advances health equity. Requests from non-profit organizations serving our region will be considered that align with our purpose to support and build inclusive, powerful, and healthy communities characterized by racial equity and economically just systems.
2026 and 2027 sponsorship requests
Please note, we are no longer accepting sponsorship applications for events in 2026. If you have an event you would like us to sponsor, please complete the request form, but know that you will not receive approval until January 2027.
