RWJF’s Truth, Repair and Transformation (TRT) process helps us address the root causes of health disparities by more explicitly focusing on truth-telling, repair, and accountability as necessary conditions for health equity and justice.
Our TRT process systematically examines the origins of our wealth, our grantmaking impact, our internal culture, and the ways our practices have neglected or harmed communities most impacted by health inequities. By learning from our past, we can repair trust with communities and ensure we are better partners to grantees as we collectively work toward a future where health is a right for all.

We have sometimes acted in ways that deepened the very inequities that we seek to undo. But we are listening, learning, and embracing new ways to do better.
An advisory group of 13 members provides expert guidance and consultation as RWJF works to dismantle structural racism as the biggest barrier to health.
Our past is very much alive in our present, and learning from it is the most effective way to become the strongest partners to organizations paving the way to health equity and justice.
