Foundation For Health Equity

Foundation For Health Equity Foundation for Health Equity supports communities in Northwest Philadelphia by building on the assets

In 2021, Green Tree Community Health Foundation became Foundation for Health Equity, renewed its commitment to addressing issues of health equity, and concentrated its grantmaking in neighborhoods of Northwest Philadelphia facing the greatest barriers to optimal health. These include neighborhoods in the 19118, 19119, 19128, 19138, 19144, 19150 zip codes. We provide direct support to organizations fulfilling immediate, individual needs as well as addressing historical, systemic inequities. For example, we fund programs that feed hungry families as well as work to end food deserts. We also fund programs that help older adults age in place as well as protect their rights. Our goal is to improve systems that have historically made it difficult for people to gain and maintain health.

🚨 As millions of kids lose SNAP food benefits, free school meals are also at risk. 🚨 SNAP connects children with other critical resources, such as free breakfast and lunch at school. So when a family loses access to food assistance, the family's child may stop automatically receiving free food at school. And when scores of families fall off SNAP, universal free meal programs at tens of thousands of schools fall into jeopardy.
