SSIR Series: Philanthropic Investment in People Power

Mission to Scale

Dec 5 2022 • 36 mins

Philanthropy has the power to make an impact by listening and supporting those they are trying to serve. For a decade The California Endowment invested $1.8 billion dollars in 14 underprivileged communities, successfully advancing their health and racial equity. Our guests today are Robert Ross, president and CEO for The California Endowment and Hanh Cao Yu, the foundation's chief learning officer. Robert and Hanh draw from their experience with the Building Healthy Communities (BHC) initiative. Theyreveal how philanthropies can create meaningful change by centering the voices of communities that have been historically marginalized.
