Advocacy

We make grants to support community advocates. And we’re raising our voice with them.

We’ve always supported the needs of people who are often left out—residents in poor and rural communities and people of color. To amplify their voices, we’ve given millions in grants to organizations leading community organizing and public policy efforts at the local, state and federal levels.

But dollars can only do so much. We speak up and show up to raise our voice and stand alongside our grantees to advance wellness across California.

How We Raise Our Voice

Five Lessons from the Healing In/Justice Convening

Our Healing In/Justice convening, held November 21-22 in San Diego, brought together 200 violence prevention activists, advocates, community organizers and researchers from around the state.

The Time is Now

How We Advocate

  • We listen to those working on the front lines of social change. Then we help them amplify their message.
  • We convene nonprofits and decision-makers to discuss topics critical to our mission and Advancing Wellness grantmaking strategy.
  • We educate policymakers about who we are and the issues we fund.
  • We inform California residents on issues that impact them and their communities.
