Based on our own mission of “fostering an equitable and healthy Richmond region,” the core work of mission-aligned organizations:
Advances health and racial equity.
Embodies an understanding of the social determinants of health.
Impacts those most affected by inequities.
In addition, we will give priority to organizations that show evidence of internal work at the Board and staff levels to advance Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
