About Two Rivers Health & Wellness Foundation
Two Rivers Health & Wellness Foundation’s grantmaking is built around local health and wellness support in Northampton County, with repeated backing for hospital-based care and community programs in Easton, Bethlehem, and Allentown. The foundation’s recent record shows a steady pattern of sizable awards to a small set of Pennsylvania organizations, especially St. Luke’s University in Allentown, which received $100,000 grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025 for health and wellness. That recurring support points to an emphasis on institutional capacity and ongoing clinical services rather than one-time charitable gifts.
Beyond the health system, the foundation has also funded community-based organizations that connect wellness to daily life. Kellyn Foundation in Bethlehem received grants of $41,500, $42,000, and $49,400 across three years for health wellness and nutrition. Easton-area recipients such as Boys and Girls Club of Easton, Easton Area Community Center, and Greater Valley YMCA - Easton Branch also appear in the recent grant record, reflecting attention to child development, afterschool activity, and fitness within the same local service area.
What Two Rivers Health & Wellness Foundation Funds
In child development, the foundation supported Boys and Girls Club of Easton with $44,000 in 2023, $39,000 in 2024, and $24,000 in 2025, and it gave Easton Area Community Center $33,000 in 2023 and $37,500 in 2025 for child development/afterschool. Those awards show a multi-year interest in youth-serving programs.
Health and nutrition also sit close to the center of its giving. Kellyn Foundation in Bethlehem received $41,500 in 2023, $42,000 in 2024, and $49,400 in 2025 for health wellness/nutrition. Family Connection in Easton was funded at $22,500 in 2024 and $25,000 in 2025 for health wellness.
The foundation also makes targeted behavioral and mental health grants. Valley Youth House received $22,711 in 2023 and $50,824 in 2024, both tagged behavioral development, while Pinebrook Services for Children received $25,000 in each of 2023, 2024, and 2025 for mental health.
How Two Rivers Health & Wellness Foundation Gives
Typical grants fall in a middle range rather than at the extreme high end: the 25th percentile is $8,218, the median is $13,250, and the 75th percentile is $19,375. The recent record also shows repeated awards to the same organizations across multiple years, including several three-year patterns. That points to ongoing support rather than isolated one-time gifts. The foundation gives through annual grant programs, including an Annual Request for Funding Proposals and annual competitive grants, and those programs accept unsolicited applications. It also makes grants to individuals, though the recent grants list is dominated by organizational awards.
