Initiatives

As a funder, collaborator, convener and champion, we’re working with some of the leading community-based health initiatives in our state.

We’re engaging people statewide to create healthier communities. We support organizations that are working to address our three focus areas: commercial tobacco use, physical activity and healthy eating. Together, we’re working to increase health equity and make it possible for all Minnesotans to be healthy.
