The California Endowment
The California Endowment’s mission is to expand access to affordable, quality health care for underserved individuals and communities and to promote fundamental improvements in the health status of all Californians.
We don’t focus on prescriptions.
We focus on fixing broken systems and outdated policies, ensuring the balance of power is with the people. We don’t focus on the individual, we focus on the larger community as an ecosystem of health. We work with citizens and elected leaders to find lasting solutions to impact the most people we possibly can.
The goal is simple: First, change the way people view health—from the notion that health happens in the doctor’s office to a belief that health happens where you live, work, learn, and play. We call this “narrative change.”
Second, integrate smart solutions in communities across the state. We do this by working with our partners and grantees to fundamentally change “the rules”—laws, policies, and systems—that impede health in our communities. Building Healthy Communities is our 10-year $1 billion-funded initiative that aims to bring health to where we live, learn, work, and play.
We’re changing the narrative around health to ensure health and justice for all.

PHI and its programs improve health, equity and wellness by discovering new research, strengthening key partnerships and programs, and advancing sound public health policies. Our hundreds of programs have impacted millions of people, creating an architecture that will continue to impact communities for generations to come.
PHI’s curated portfolio focuses on the ideas, programs and individuals positioned to transform health. We build the capacity of diverse public health and healthcare leaders, in the U.S. and globally. Tackle emerging diseases. Use tech to speed healthcare delivery. Amplify local leaders. No idea is too small—or too big—to succeed.
PHI strengthens the work of public health and builds community power through three key roles: as a fiscal sponsor, as a thought leader and as a partner.
PHI Center for Health Leadership & Impact
PHI Center for Health Leadership & Impact (CHLI) began in 1991 in response to a need for public health leadership. The Center’s first program, the National Public Health Leadership Institute, trained senior leaders at the local, state, and national level on cutting-edge public health practices and leadership trends.
The Center has expanded its expertise and reach over three decades, evolving to address the complex, intersectional health challenges that require collaboration with diverse stakeholders. Our programs help teams and individuals build healthy, more equitable communities by developing multi-sector partnerships and leveraging local resources.
To date, the Center has worked with teams from 53 states and territories, supporting work on the most pressing health challenges of our time, including overdose prevention, affordable housing, HIV prevention, and violence prevention.
National Overdose Prevention Network
The National Overdose Prevention Network (NOPN) is a national learning community. They support local, regional and statewide overdose prevention efforts that draw communities together to save lives.
Their goal is to help those doing the work on the ground share lessons learned and get inspired by new strategies.
