Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

Prevention Institute's mission is to build prevention and equity into key policies and practices to ensure that the places where all people live, work, play and learn foster health, safety, and well-being.

Activities or mission (Part I)

We foster health, safety, and wellbeing for all by advancing prevention and health equity.

Working with community collaboratives and networks, we coordinate communities of practice and learning communities; facilitate peer learning; provide coaching and mentoring; support community engagement, planning, and community collaborative capacity building; build power with communities; and manage grants to participating community collaboratives at the local, regional, state and national levels. Applying this strategy, we work to achieve community-defined solutions; community-level change across the sociocultural, physical and built, and educational and economic environments; shifts in power to communities; shifts to upstream prevention efforts; and expanded community engagement.

    Expenses $4,844,340 · Revenue $521,000

  • Practitioner Knowledge and Skill Development: Strengthening practitioner capacity to achieve equitable health, safety, and wellbeing. Working with practitioners across multiple sectors, we provide training and technical assistance; develop actionable tools, guidance documents, and case studies; engage in framework development; and widely share learnings and outcomes from community-centered action. Applying this strategy, we work to achieve applied knowledge and skills; the ability to operationalize equity objectives; a sustainable and sustained workforce; the capacity to work upstream and at the population level; the capacity to partner, collaborate, and engage with community collaboratives; sustainable stewardship to advance prevention and health equity; effective multisector engagement and collaboration; and community-centered approaches.

Applying this strategy, we work to achieve systems of prevention, health equity, and racial justice; the integration of contextual and experiential evidence; the embedding of equity within systems; expanded definitions of a community health workforce; systems that further equity and resilience; investments in upstream community-level prevention; and political will.

    Expenses $1,450,748 · Revenue $259,299

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
