Overview

Mission

To build faith-rooted advocacy, perspectives, coalitions, moral frameworks and movements to support just public policy that lifts up poor, underserved and traditionally oppressed communities.

What it reported doing in 2024

Community catalyst voices for health justice 2.0 grant the voices for health justice project is designed to address the stark reality that far too often, people experience a health system built to meet the priorities of providers and payors, and that fundamentally fails to meet their needs and priorities. This is especially true for people and communities who face discriminatory barriers to health care, access, and coverage due to race, ethnicity, income, age, immigration status, disability, lgbtqia+ identity, and the intersectionality of such identities. For the health system to be more responsive to communities, policy change must be rooted in the experiences, perspectives, and leadership of the people most harmed by the systems and married to an intentional focus on building the lasting power of people and organizations working towards equitable and anti-racist health system changes. The grant will help to support you in designing projects that are intentional about community power building efforts.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% 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 available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
