The San Francisco-based Stupski Foundation has announced grants totaling $15 million to seven community health centers across Hawai‘i.

The largest single program investment in the foundation’s history, the initiative will award unrestricted grants to enable the centers to promote health equity, support systems change, address the unique needs of their communities, and plan for long-term, sustainable solutions. Recipients include Hāna Health, Hawai‘i Island Community Health Center, Kalihi-Pālama Health Center, Kōkua Kalihi Valley Comprehensive Family Services, Lāna’i Community Health Center, Mālama I Ke Ola, and Waimānalo Health Center.

“What’s important about this level of partnership is that it can promote greater health equity and improved social outcomes far beyond the foundation’s lifespan,” said Sulma Gandhi, Hawai‘i health program officer at the Stupski Foundation. “And being able to do that over four years with organizations who are committed to sustainable health equity is inspiring.”
