The Living Well Foundation is committed to improving the wellness of our community and the physical and mental health of individuals in our service area.
Living Well Foundation’s recent grantmaking is defined by school-based health centers and access to care for children and adolescents across its eight-parish service area. One of its largest recent awards, $165,000 to Morehouse Community Medical Centers Inc for SBHC at OPHS, shows the scale of its support for on-campus health access. Another major grant, $150,000 to the same organization for Downsville Comm Clin, points to continued investment in clinic-based service delivery in northeast Louisiana. The foundation also backs behavioral health work, including $90,000 to Children’s Coalition for Signs of Suicide and $100,000 to Northeast La Children’s Museum for NELCM Health Med Zon. That mix of grants suggests a funder centered on practical health access: school clinics, children’s services, mental health, and community-based health programming. Its recent awards also include dental, maternal, and emergency-response related projects, but the clearest pattern is support for direct services that reach residents where they already are, especially through schools and local health providers.
School-based health care is a central theme. Living Well Foundation gave $135,000 to Hsd No1b for the Parish of Richlan Dba Delhi Community Health Center for SBHC Expansion, and $25,000 to Franklin Parish Hsd 1 Dba Franklin Medical Center for Behavioral Health Cl, showing support for both access and school-linked services. Behavioral health appears in multiple forms: $83,830 in 2024 and $90,000 in 2025 went to Children’s Coalition for Signs of Suicide, while $38,400 to Wellspring Alliance funded Med-Psych Services. Oral health is another recurring area, with $35,000 to Mercy Medical Health Center for Bright Smiles and $21,578 to Ulm - Riser Dental Hygiene for a year of dental hygiene services. The foundation also funds youth-serving infrastructure, including $25,000 to Town of Farmerville for Teen Center and $20,000 to Academy for Collaborative Education for ACE-After School Car.
Typical grants cluster in the mid five figures: the p25 is $10,239, the median is $15,000, and the p75 is $25,000. The pattern includes both smaller program grants and larger capital or expansion awards, with some grants reaching well above that range for clinic and school-health projects. The foundation operates a competitive annual grant cycle, and applications are submitted through an online portal; the annual grant program accepts unsolicited proposals. Recipients also appear across multiple years, which suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards. The foundation’s strategic initiatives for school-based health centers and dental hygiene clinics add a more structured layer to the annual cycle, with targeted support for startup, equipment, and multi-year clinic development.
