Our Approach to Grantmaking
Centering Communities and Their Solutions
We are on a collaborative journey to dismantle persistent health inequities. EHF is now moving to center its work and grantmaking on repairing the historical injustices impacting the health and well-being of people who live in the Inland Northwest. 2024 is a year of transition: While we are wrapping up legacy initiatives, we are also engaging community in conversation that will inform our grants and investments going forward.
Our funding prioritizes the leaders and community organizations working to address inequities and accelerate racial, social and economic justice in the Inland Northwest. Each of these communities has its own abundant heritage, history and culture, and are the most impacted by historical injustices, persistent inequities and economic disparities exacerbated by lack of access to resources and opportunities.
Our Prioritized Communities Include
- 2SLGBTQIA+ COMMUNITY & THEIR INTERSECTIONALITIES
- PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
- RURAL LOW-INCOME COMMUNITIES
- BLACK, INDIGENOUS AND OTHER PEOPLE OF COLOR
To include but not limited to Sovereign Tribal Nations, LatinX, Latino/Latina, Asian Pacific Island, and Marshallese
EHF’s service area includes seven counties and three Sovereign Tribal Nations in the northeastern corner of Washington.
