It’s an exciting time for the Foundation and we remain committed to serving those in need. We fund many projects that are varied in scope and innovative in design. We expect the projects to have a positive impact on health quality and the lives of people in the community,” said Ms. Amanda Neal, Executive Director of Qlarant Foundation. “We are particularly interested in non-profit organizations committed to serving people that are very much in need of health care services but are difficult to reach. The Foundation anticipates awarding approximately $400,000 in grants this year”.
