Resources to Navigate Uncertainty

Like many in the philanthropic and nonprofit sectors, Greater Rochester Health Foundation is closely monitoring the various policies and actions being implemented at the federal level.


We want you to know that we are actively gathering information to better understand the potential impacts on our communities, while also remaining responsive to new and emerging needs across our region. We’ll be sharing information directly with partners upon request, using discretion and sensitivity given the complexity of the challenges many communities are facing.


Additionally, we’ll be providing vetted resources that may be helpful, including:
