Since 1984, Mid-Iowa Health Foundation has pursued its mission to serve as a partner and catalyst for improving the health of vulnerable people in greater Des Moines.

The cornerstones of Foundation grantmaking are Access to Healthcare, improving access to primary and preventive healthcare services, and Childhood Health, promoting health and preventing disease, including factors outside medical care that are important influences on overall health, school readiness and school success.

Within this site, you will learn of the Foundation’s two grantmaking programs and gain insight about board and staff leadership, our many community partnerships, and how to apply for funding.
