The success of our community begins with our kids.
Too often, the policies and systems our society creates make it difficult for children and families to thrive. Without the building blocks for healthy development, our children will struggle throughout their lives.
By working collaboratively to rethink our systems and targeting our attention and resources on underinvested areas, we can create equitable opportunities for lifelong health and well-being.
Our Approach
Mid-Iowa Health Foundation strives to cultivate opportunities that are driven by the needs of those most impacted. We bring diverse stakeholders together to address complex challenges for health. We value working alongside our grantees to respond to emerging needs, share key learnings, elevate their successes, and inform future investments.
