– Kaiser Permanente, the nation's largest integrated, nonprofit health system, has awarded $8.15 million to support dozens of nonprofit and community based organizations whose programs address systemic racism and its accompanying trauma on individuals and communities of color. These grants are part of the $25 million commitment Kaiser Permanente announced in June 2020 to promote health equity and break the cycle of racial inequities, injustices, and stresses that lead to poor health outcomes for its members and communities.
This first set of grants, awarded to 39 organizations in 8 U.S. states and the District of Columbia, support established national and regional community based organizations led by people of color, addressing racial and social justice or trauma, including the lifelong impacts of adverse childhood experiences.
