Building a Healthier Region
Centered in equity, the Greater Rochester Health Foundation is on a mission to pursue and invest in solutions that build a healthier region where all people can thrive.
Approaches to our Grantmaking
Racial Health Equity
We are surrounded by an overwhelming amount of data and evidence on inequitable health outcomes that does not need repeating. What’s required now is action.
Partnerships
We are committed to listening to and collaborating with people across communities, sectors, and across differences, in recognition that we accomplish more together.
Healthy & Equitable Futures
Whole child health is an integrated state of physical, cognitive, social and emotional health and well-being in which children are developmentally on track in each of these areas.
Your Ideas
We welcome the opportunity to speak with prospective grantees about their ideas to improve the health of the community. These conversations are helpful to us in revealing community health issues and needs. Please review our Responsive Grants page for more information on funding opportunities for your ideas. Organizations are invited to contact our executive staff or senior program officers at any time.
