• Grantmaking


    We fund work that will change systems. That includes projects with the potential to create widespread change, advocacy work that advances health equity, and grants that ensure communities most affected by policy issues have a voice at the table.

  • Convening


    Bringing people together is a core part of what we do. For example, we regularly convene advocates for health equity. We also launched an advisory committee to inform the creation of a blueprint for maternal health equity in Connecticut and bring together health care providers to share best practices for collecting data on patients’ race, ethnicity, and language preference.

  • Community Leadership


    It is critical to have leaders who are passionate about creating a more equitable system and who have the tools to do so. The graduates of our Health Leadership Fellows Program and Academy for Health Equity Advocacy & Leadership are part of an active health equity network. 

  • Research


    We empower decision-makers, advocates, and providers with information. Our publications and infographics focus on the topics that affect our communities and potential solutions. 

How We Approach Change

Our work aims to create enduring, systemwide change. That's because real change doesn't help just one person — it helps thousands. And it doesn't just solve problems today — it improves health outcomes for future generations.
