What Do We Stand For?
One year ago, as we were just one month into the new administration, I wrote that “At a moment when so much has been described as ‘unprecedented,’ and so much of what we value is being attacked, we need to ask ourselves as individuals, organizations, and a field, what do we stand for? What values do we hold, and what will we do and say to defend them?” Today, the answers to these questions are needed more urgently than ever.
Healthy Communities Foundation
“We are deepening our trust-based grantmaking, further aligning our strategy with the learnings and relationships built over years of partnership with community and grantees. Our approach reflects a growing focus on multi-year funding that helps to provide organizations with stability and flexibility to address the root causes of health inequities, strengthen resilient local networks, and advance community-driven solutions that promote health for all. The current public health, economic, and social challenges faced by our partners and the communities they serve highlight the urgency of acting now, while we remain steadfast in our long-term vision of equitable health and well-being for future generations”
