What We Fund
Addressing vulnerability and opportunity across the lifespan–from the youngest children to the oldest adults.
Our Strategic Priorities
We are committed to taking a strengths-based approach in which we listen to and trust the communities we serve, and where we can work alongside our grantees and partners to strengthen institutions that support health while also prioritizing the other factors that contribute to health and well–being.
Through strategic grantmaking, we seek to center people and communities in all that we support and partner with institutions that promote health and well–being across the following areas of opportunity:
- Resilient Children
- Healthy Women and Girls
- Older Adults Aging in Place
- Thriving Rural Communities
- Clinics as Community Hubs for Health
We recognize the overlap within and between the five priorities, and that much of this work is intersectional in nature. Across the five priorities we see three key strategies underpinning the work:
- Leading philanthropic efforts to fund key services and improve the built environment in our community
- Leveraging evidence to catalyze change at the systems level
- Partnering with communities to ensure sustainable solutions
Resilient Children
Fostering the conditions that create positive early experiences for young children, knowing these early experiences are the foundation for later health, social, and economic outcomes.
Healthy Women and Girls
Ensuring women and girls are supported with the resources, respect, and conditions vital for equitable health and well-being.
Older Adults Aging in Place
Increasing support for older adults to live safely and independently in their own community.
Thriving Rural Communities
Building community capacity while co-creating and investing in long term place-based solutions.
Clinic as Community Hubs for Health
Facilitating the growth of clinic infrastructure and capacity as clinics transition to serve as community hubs for health.
