We strive to advance health and wellness in the San Diego & Imperial counties. We accomplish this work through collaborative funding, convening and advocacy. We are a grant-maker and an active impact investor. We take a very expansive view of "health", and focus much of our work on addressing upstream social determinants of health. Through systems-change and investing in transformational innovation, we look for ways to measurably and meaningfully advance health and wellness for the communities we serve.
