Our Vision
At the Healthy Americas Foundation (HAF), our vision is simple: the best health for all. As a U.S.-based national non-governmental organization, we are dedicated to improving the health of individuals and families in their communities, tailored to the needs and resources at the local level.
​
We work with a wide range of partners and do not accept funding from tobacco, alcohol, or sugar-sweetened beverage companies. Our efforts focus on collaboration with communities, supportive solutions, and international partnerships to promote wellness in body, mind, and spirit while celebrating the role of culture.
Our Challenges
-
Unmet needs in underserved communities throughout the Americas are increasing while resources are decreasing.
-
Culture is often dismissed as a factor in promoting health and wellness.
-
Short-term metrics do not measure the effects of interventions that have longer-term effects.
-
We do not accept funds from tobacco, alcohol, or sugar-sweetened beverage companies.
-
Corporations increasingly target funding to support their products rather than an overall mission of health and wellness.
-
General support is scarce.
-
Raising endowment funds is seen as less desirable by potential donors at a time of great immediate needs.
