Fund for Public Health in NYC Overview

Our mission is to incubate innovative public health initiatives that lead to improved health for all New Yorkers. The City of New York created the Fund for Public Health in New York City in 2002 as an independent, nonprofit organization that connects the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene with public and private sector partners to build public health programs that make our city healthier and safer. Since its founding in 2002, the Fund has raised more than $500 million in public and private funding for 440 grants to support programs developed with the Health Department. The Fund incuba...tes innovative public health initiatives implemented by the Health Department to advance community health throughout the city. It facilitates partnerships, often new and unconventional, between government and the private sector to develop, test, and launch new initiatives. These collaborations speed the execution of demonstration projects, effect expansion of successful pilot programs, and support rapid implementation. The Fund helps the Health Department do moremore quicklyto meet the public health needs of individuals, families, and communities across New York City. More
