CHW's Community Grants Program is designed to help communities to provide support for underserved populations. With this program CHW realizes its mission and enhances the advocacy, social justice and healthier communities efforts of its hospitals and religious and community sponsors. CHW seeks to partner with other nonprofit organizations that are working to improve the health status and quality of life of the communities we serve and whose efforts embody CHW's Core Values.

CHW's Community Grants Program is funded by contributions from its member hospitals. Typically, grant awards range from $5,000 to $25,000 and projects funded must involve collaboration with others. Since 1990 when this program began, CHW has made grant awards to 1,567 projects totaling $25 million.

In 2007 CHW awarded grants to 193 organizations, among them Access to Healthcare Network (AHN).

Access to Healthcare Network is a comprehensive network of hospitals, primary, specialty and ancillary health care providers offering services to the uninsured working poor at vastly reduced fees. AHN is the first Not-for-Profit Medical Discount Plan in the State of Nevada registered with the Nevada, Division of Insurance. To learn more about this organization visit www.accesstohealthcare.org.
