Each year, the Foundation sets aside a pool of dollars to respond in a timely fashion to opportunities that fit our mission but are outside the eight health issues prioritized for funding. The Foundation places an emphasis on grants to support and strengthen safety net providers of health care, help low-income consumers understand and navigate the health care system, and to inform policymakers and opinion leaders about healthcare issues affecting the underserved. The Foundation also provides funding to address the health care needs of the California/Mexico border population, the urban homeless, and culturally appropriate programs for underserved ethnic populations.
