Community at the center
Communities most impacted by inequities must be at the center of solutions. In each of Washington’s 39 counties, Black, Indigenous, and other people of color; people with disabilities; members of the LGBTQIA+ community; immigrants and refugees; people living with low incomes; and many who hold several of these identities are leading transformative work. Our funding prioritizes their efforts.
Equity agreements
Equity is our leading value. As our work gets more complex, these agreements will ground our work.
Community insights
We are sharing what we’re learning from communities in order to strengthen our collective work for health equity.
Join our growing team
Group Health Foundation is relatively new, and we’re still building our team. See career opportunities.
