We make grants to improve Louisiana’s health outcomes.
Through our strategic philanthropic work, we empower people, organizations, and communities across the state to create meaningful and lasting change. Our grantee partners share our dedication to making a measurable impact on the health and lives of Louisiana’s people.
Our grants improve the Social Determinants of Health in Louisiana.
Research shows that 70% or more of a person’s health outcomes are shaped by their daily physical, emotional, and social experiences. Our grantee partners’ work connects healthcare, education, economic stability, built environments, and social supports with their clients’ overall health.
