ABOUT US
The Connecticut Health Foundation (CT Health), established in July 1999, is the state’s largest independent, non-profit grant-making foundation dedicated to improving the health of the people of Connecticut through systemic change and program innovation. Since it was established, CT Health has funded nearly $37 million in grants.
The foundation focuses its resources on three program areas:
Improving Access to Children’s Mental Health Services
Reducing Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities
Expanding Access to and Utilization of Children's Oral Health Services
Aside from directly supporting community-based grant proposals, CT Health fosters discussions surrounding public health issues through conferences, meetings, educational briefings, workshops, etc. The foundation also invests resources to conduct objective research on issues important to health policy debate, such as Connecticut’s spending cap and the oral health of publicly insured children throughout the state.
