We invest in a range of grantees committed to advancing health equity

From smaller grassroots organizations to larger institutions, our grantees share a commitment to providing marginalized members of our community with the care they deserve. Our grantees are fighting racism, sexism, and homophobia in health care delivery, and partnering with the people they serve to find solutions that center their needs.

Our funding philosophy

The most successful solutions can take time and experimentation—that’s why we serve as a flexible partner and invest in the bold ideas of community-focused organizations. We distill the learnings of our grantees and our grantmaking into knowledge that can be used to enhance the capacity of all those working to create health equity.
