Kaiser Permanente has announced more than $1.2 million in grants to support health, stability, and access to vital services throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. Several organizations serving Prince William County, Manassas, and Manassas Park will receive funding to advance their work in improving community health for local families.
This commitment reflects Kaiser Permanente’s focus on the social factors that influence well-being. Research shows that stable housing, nutritious food, access to care, economic opportunity, and safe neighborhoods shape most health outcomes. By directing resources to frontline organizations, the grants help strengthen systems that support individuals closest to need.
Local Organizations Receiving Funding
Two organizations serving the Greater Prince William community were selected for grants during this funding cycle. The following groups operate programs that directly assist residents in Prince William County, Manassas, and Manassas Park:
Greater Prince William Community Health Center
Grant Amount: $95,000
This investment supports access to care for women and children and enhances quality improvements across the health center’s clinics. The funding helps expand clinical capacity, improve patient experience, and strengthen essential health services for residents who rely on the center for primary and preventive care.
House of Mercy
Grant Amount: $24,500
The grant strengthens House of Mercy’s basic-needs programs, which support individuals and families experiencing financial hardship. Funding will help the organization expand its ability to provide food, clothing, and other emergency resources to local residents facing instability.
Why These Investments Matter
Kaiser Permanente notes that these programs increase access to services that shape long-term well-being. Support for medical care, nutrition, and essential household needs reduces health risks and helps families stay connected to community resources.
Ondrea McIntyre-Hall, senior director of Community Health for Kaiser Permanente, stated that these grants reflect a commitment to neighborhoods where stability and opportunity directly influence health. By partnering with organizations rooted in the community, Kaiser Permanente aims to strengthen networks of care for the people it serves.
Continuing Commitment to Community Health
In the past year, Kaiser Permanente provided nearly $2.3 million in grants to support health initiatives across the Mid-Atlantic region. The 2025 awards continue that work by investing in programs that reflect local priorities and meet residents where they are.
Prince William County’s community organizations play a major role in improving health outcomes, and these grants help expand their capacity to serve.
