The Health Foundation does not identify specific health issues as funding priorities; instead, our grantmaking programs are designed to be responsive to the changing health needs of the region as identified by local communities. The term “health” is used in its broadest sense, and we are dedicated to eliminating inequities within all aspects of health and addressing the social determinants, including underlying racial, social, and economic factors that can influence health status.

“Through a willingness to not only listen to the challenges raised by the community, but to also be led by the community in identifying the solutions, the Foundation has been a model in grantmaking.”
State Senator Robyn K. Kennedy, First Worcester
