healthy kids

our focus

Children need nutrition, stimulation, healthy living conditions and access to quality health care.  We’re helping many of them get all four, by funding organizations that improve birth outcomes and first food experiences, create access to healthy foods, improve health services, and educate families and communities about the inter-related factors that determine well-being.

We seek to help children get a healthy start by funding organizations that improve birth outcomes and first food experiences, create access to healthy foods, and educate families and communities on the factors that determine well-being.  We especially focus on children who are disadvantaged by multiple societal factors, a disproportionate percentage of whom are children of color.

We support innovative, place-based efforts to address the social determinants of health (SDoH) through local leadership, policy and advocacy.  And we work to assure access to a quality health environment and to quality health care.
