The Foundation's investment in the Work and Health Initiative was a long-term commitment to learn with and from our Grantees as they implemented four different programs with the intent of demonstrating the connections between work and health. At the conclusion of such a long-term investment, the question any foundation must ask itself is whether the effort was worth the investment. From a cost-benefit perspective, the number of people directly served (30,326) would indicate this to be a cost-effective endeavor. Evaluation and anecdotal evidence tells us much more. It indicates that human and social capital was built among the many individuals trained, among the statewide and local organizations whose capacity increased, and among the varied sets of formal and informal networks that were enabled through the program activity. Though not all Initiative goals were met, on the whole this Initiative proved to be a risk worth taking. As we look to the future, we expect the Foundation's new core operating support grantmaking direction will help sustain some of the good work that was begun under the Work and Health Initiative. We would like to thank the dozens of organizations and hundreds of individuals who have made the Work and Health Initiative an exciting, productive, engaging and informative experience. It is our hope that all of those involved with this Initiative will continue to work toward improving the work and health of Californians.
