Hfsf Grants Management Inc

The mission of the Health Foundation of South Florida is to invest in and be a catalyst for collaborations, policy and systems change that improve the health of South Florida communities, with a focus on vulnerable, low- to moderate-income populations.

The foundation organizes its grantmaking around three primary goal areas:

Access to Care — Bringing together partners to address South Florida's high incidence of uninsured residents. This includes funding projects that expand access to insurance programs such as KidCare, Medicaid, and the ACA marketplace; digital health innovations; alternative care delivery models including telehealth and community health worker programs; and strengthening safety net clinics. Policy and advocacy initiatives aimed at increasing healthcare availability and utilization are also supported.

Health & Social Needs — Prioritizing integrated approaches to address social determinants of health. The foundation supports projects that build connections between health and social service providers, support adoption of shared digital referral platforms, and scale effective social needs interventions such as food pharmacies and medical-legal partnerships. Policy advocacy for sustainable financing of social needs interventions is also eligible for support.

Thriving Communities — Working to create awareness about the intersection of community development and health, with special focus on housing and economic prosperity issues. The foundation backs initiatives that link housing to health outcomes and empower community-based organizations and residents to advocate for change.

Additional programs include the Healthy Aging Regional Collaborative of South Florida, which ensures that effective health promotion and prevention programs in physical fitness, disease management, and fall prevention are widely available for older adults in South Florida.
