Grantmaking is core to who we are as a foundation. But there’s so much more we can do to advance wellness in California. In addition to our dollars, we’re using our voice to speak out on issues that affect people’s health and wellness. Here you can learn more about how we’re thinking about our work, where we stand on issues, and what others are saying about our efforts.
