Collaborating Where Health Happens

At the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), our mission is to improve health and health care for all Americans. But improving health for the most vulnerable requires acknowledging that factors such as poverty, violence, inadequate housing, and education contribute to poor health. No one knows this better than the grantmakers and nonprofit organizations working within the heart of their own communities. The field of philanthropy has embarked on many local collaborative efforts surrounding these issues.
