About RWJF
RWJF is a leading national philanthropy paving the way, together, toward a future where health is no longer a privilege, but a right. What started as a mission to support vulnerable populations has transformed into a commitment to address structural racism, a root cause of health inequities. Our understanding has shifted and deepened, but our promise has always been the same: to create a more equitable society, centered in health and wellbeing.
Through funding, convening, advocacy, evidence building, and impact investing, we work side-by-side with communities, practitioners, and institutions to get to health equity, faster and together.
