Sentara Healthcare has a mission of improving health every day. This is accomplished, in part, through our partnerships with dozens of nonprofit groups. Sentara teams up with these organizations to fund numerous programs throughout our region.
This year, the Sentara Health Foundation has provided $87,200 to 18 nonprofit organizations, associations and institutions. In an effort to improve community health, Sentara assists in fundraising efforts and supports education and prevention activities as well as other important initiatives.
Find out more about the organizations supported by the Sentara Health Foundation through our

We invite you to apply for funding for your 2010 event. (Please note that our sponsorship funding objectives have been fulfilled for 2009; therefore, applications will not be accepted for events in 2009.)
