+ Health Equity Fund

The $95 million Health Equity Fund is designated to improve the health outcomes and health equity of residents of the District of Columbia. The historic fund is one of the largest philanthropic funds of any kind focused on community-based nonprofits that serve District residents and also the largest in The Community Foundation’s nearly 50-year history.

Given that 80 percent of DC’s health outcomes are driven by social, economic, and other factors, compared to just 20 percent by clinical care, the strategy for this fund is to use an economic mobility frame to address the root causes that are causing these challenges in the first place.

+ Partnership to End Homelessness

Led by the Greater Washington Community Foundation and the District Government’s Interagency Council on Homelessness, the Partnership brings together the public and private sectors to advance effective and innovative solutions that will accelerate the development of affordable housing and ensure homelessness in DC is rare, brief, and nonrecurring. We believe that ending homelessness is possible if we work together — and it is a smart investment in our city’s continued prosperity.
