THE CALIFORNIA WELLNESS FOUNDATION is an independent, private foundation, created in 1992, whose mission is to improve the health of the people of California by making grants for health promotion, wellness education and disease prevention.

The Foundation’s goals are to:

  • improve the quality and accessibility of health promotion and disease prevention programs and services for a culturally diverse cross section of California’s children, youth and families;
  • encourage the integration of health promotion and disease prevention activities into the delivery of health and human services;
  • increase the availability of work-related health promotion opportunities for California workers and their families; and
  • facilitate the development of public policies that support health promotion and disease prevention.

For more information, to be added to the mailing list, or to discuss potential funding opportunities, please call or write the Foundation, or visit our website at www.tcwf.org.
