Desert Healthcare District & Foundation Provides Assistance for Nonprofits to Complete Audits  [Sponsored]

One of the requirements that applicants for full grants from the Desert Healthcare District & Foundation must fulfill during the application process is the submission of a financial audit. (A full grant is any amount above $10,000.)

Because small nonprofit organizations may not have the funds to conduct an audit, the agency provides financial assistance to those that are eligible.

Please see the brief list of requirements (available in English and Español).

Financial Audit Support
The Desert Healthcare District & Foundation requires an audit from organizations seeking a grant above $10,000. The District may provide financial assistance with completing the audit.

To be eligible, organizations must meet these 7 requirements:

  • The organization has never had an audit conducted;
  • Have a 501 (c)3 designation;
  • Have an annual revenue of $500,000 or less;
  • Be a health and wellness mission-driven organization;
  • Demonstrate financial hardship to complete audits; Demonstrate ability to pay for its audit after three years of District support (An organization may not use a District & Foundation mini-grant or full grant to request assistance with an audit.);
  • Demonstrate ability to secure additional funds during the time the District supports the organization.
