Creating a just and sustainable St. Petersburg: eradicating inequality to achieve optimal health for all people.
Driven by a passionate vision for health equity, Foundation for a Healthy St. Petersburg aims to close the gaps that systemically and structurally disadvantage the people of south Pinellas County. The Foundation seeks to carefully examine and upend the social determinants of health that historically and currently marginalize people based on their race, ethnicity, income, gender and geography. With almost $180 million in funds, the Foundation is the largest grant-making organization in St. Petersburg. Although it distributed nearly 9 million dollars last year, the Foundation is actively tackling health inequality in other innovative ways. Through social innovation, convening, capacity building, strategic communications and engagement, and advocacy, the Foundation provides a comprehensive, collaborative approach to eradicating inequality.
