How do you define “health?"
The Foundation defines health broadly, and takes a public health approach to prevention and wellness, seeking to improve the health of children. This recognizes that poverty and racism are key factors that negatively affect health.
What is the primary focus of your funding?
Supporting child-serving organizations is our focus. We work with organizations that engage in direct service and public policy advocacy.
