AHA 社会影响基金 Social Enterprise: 四十亩生鲜市场

Breaking Down Barriers to Change

The 美国心脏协会 understands that policies and institutions are at the root of inequities across all wellness indicators—whether by race, 种族, class, 性别, 性取向或能力. We strive to remove systemic barriers that impact access to affordable housing, 优质K-12教育, 营养食品和保健, and decarceration that will allow us all to have optimal, 更健康的生活.

伯纳德·J. 泰森影响基金

Systemic and structural barriers, such as structural racism, don’t affect people the same way. At the heart of our impact investments, we understand that prevention and intervention strategies should not rely on a one-size-fits-all approach. Rather, they should directly address the needs and concerns of those who are most affected.

我们投资于循证研究, local solutions to shift the inequitable health paradigm, respecting local agencies to tackle social determinants of health challenges that ultimately lead to measurable positive health outcomes.
