The purpose of this program is to support for-profit and nonprofit organizations tackling social drivers of health to enable more people to have the opportunity to live longer, healthier lives. Funding will support community-led transformation by strategically deploying capital to social entrepreneurs who are using their lived experience to tackle vital social drivers of health. This program aims to fill a critical resource gap for traditionally overlooked and underfunded organizations through investments, loans, and grants, including capacity-building support to accelerate viability, scalability, and sustainability. Projects must involve at least one of the following focus areas:

• Health care access and quality: overcoming barriers to high-quality, affordable, and accessible health care that is age-, gender-, and culturally appropriate through a wide variety of services and solutions.
• Food security: increasing access to healthy, affordable, and environmentally sustainable food.
• Economic empowerment: promoting economic health by giving people wide-ranging opportunities to increase income, skills, and financial stability so that they have the resources that give them a better chance of achieving positive health outcomes,

For the purposes of this program, social drivers of health are the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work, and age.

Each award recipient will be paired with a social impact funds principal, with whom they will develop key performance indicators that are customized to the business model and reflect the applicable goals and objectives.
