Examples of Our Investments
Kaiser Permanente provided the Latino Leadership Council a $30,000 grant to help them improve access to health, vision, and dental services for uninsured individuals. Promotoras (community health workers) coordinate clinic appointments, lab work, prescriptions, and support services.
Placer People of Faith Together received a $20,000 grant to train clergy and key community leaders in how to help persons who are in crisis or developing a mental illness. The training helps participants learn about the signs, symptoms, and risk factors of mental illnesses and addictions as well as how to connect people to professional and self-help resources.
