Collaborative Community Council

About

The Collaborative Community Council (3C) serves as an advisory body under the AdventHealth Orlando Board of Trustees. With a mission to drive meaningful change, the council evaluates and approves the Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA), establishes funding priorities, and directs resources to impactful initiatives through the Community Impact Grant. By aligning community investments with identified health needs, the council fosters strategic partnerships and sustainable solutions that enhance well-being across Central Florida.

About the Community Impact Grant

The Community Impact Grant is a competitive funding opportunity led by the Collaborative Community Council (3C) to support innovative, community-driven programs that address priority health needs identified in our Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). Each year, the council allocates $1.2 million in funding to nonprofit organizations in Orange, Osceola, and Seminole counties that are working to create lasting improvements in community health and economic stability.
