Thursday, July 27, 2023 by Elizabeth Pagano
This month, St. David’s Foundation has announced $20.4 million in grant funding to advance health equity for Central Texans. In total, 38 grants were awarded this year. The grants were distributed to local and grassroots groups that support the foundation’s mission, with a focus on resilient children, healthy women and girls, older adults, thriving rural communities and clinics as community, according to a press release, with each of the 33 awarded organizations “selected for their meaningful impact helping underserved and marginalized Central Texas residents.”
“As a community-focused and equity-driven funder, we are guided by the belief that individuals and communities should have opportunities to achieve optimal health,” said Regan Gruber Moffitt, vice president of community investments for St. David’s Foundation, in a statement to the press. “However, many of our Central Texas neighbors face structural and systemic barriers furthering health disparities among marginalized individuals and communities. These grants reflect support to vital organizations who are working to address the critical needs of our community.”
