Grants that address the issue of work and health are commonly given to nonprofit organizations that provide health care services to:
- farm workers;
- in-home health workers; and
- garment workers, day laborers and other low-income workers.
Worker centers that provide culturally sensitive and linguistically appropriate services, such as health education and access to health care for low-wage workers, are also prioritized for funding. In addition, the Foundation funds organizations that provide leadership development programs for low-wage workers, as well as organizations that inform policymakers and opinion leaders about the issue of work and health.
For more information on this funding priority, please visit the Contact Us page.
