Overview

Mission

Health in Partnership transforms the field of public health to center health equity and builds collective power with social justice movements.

What it reported doing in 2025

Policy and Organizing: HIP conducts research, advocacy, and organizing to elevate and use public health expertise, framing, voice, and communications in social justice campaigns and movements. In 2025, HIP continued to coordinate 1 national and 1 statewide coalition uniting public health and community power-building organizations, engaging nearly 40 public health organizations in advocacy. We mobilized the 3,850+ national members of our Public Health Awakened network on various policy issues, and also provided advocacy, sign ons, health equity framing, and testimony to advance 50+ federal, state, and local policies. Through our Health Instead of Punishment program, we engaged 62 public health students and 20 incarcerated people in collaborative learning and campus campaign organizing through our Abolitionist Public Health Student network. We also produced 4 powerful policy-driven research products and tools supporting campaigns for community safety and housing justice.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 91% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 97% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
