The Social Impact Funds
Funding Opportunities
We’re seeking sustainable solutions that address adverse Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) with the goal of generating long-term positive health outcomes. This strategic approach is designed to achieve two objectives—capital access for those who have little or no other opportunities for funding and positive health impact by addressing structural barriers to create opportunities for being healthy. The SDOH as we define them are:
Access to Health
& Health Care
Economic Resilience & Poverty Reduction
