Mission and programs · 2024

• THE PARTNERSHIP FOR BETTER HEALTH (FOUNDATION) PROVIDES FUNDING FOR GRANTS AND INITIATIVES THAT SEEK TO ELIMINATE HEALTH DISPARITIES AND ADDRESS THE ROOTS OF HEALTH ISSUES, TOWARD ENSURING THAT ALL PEOPLE HAVE THE CHANCE TO ENJOY HEALTHY LIVES. IN LINE WITH OUR TRUST-BASED GRANT MAKING APPROACH, OUR GRANT PRIORITIES INCLUDE THREE APPLICATION CATEGORIES COMPRISED OF GENERAL OPERATING GRANTS FOR ORGANIZATIONS LEADING IN EQUITY WORK, PROJECT GRANTS TO ADDRESS ROOT ISSUES AND SPARK GRANTS. PRIORITY CONSIDERATION IS GIVEN TO GRANTEES THAT ADDRESS ISSUES LIKE HEALTH EQUITY, AND SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH, AND WHICH ARE CENTERING PEOPLE WITH LIVED EXPERIENCE. FURTHER, EACH PROJECT AND SPARK GRANT IS ASSIGNED ONE OR MORE CORE FUNDING AREAS ALIGNED WITH THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH (HEALTH CARE ACCESS AND QUALITY; SOCIAL AND COMMUNITY CONTEXT; ECONOMIC STABILITY; EDUCATION ACCESS AND QUALITY; AND NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT). IN ADDITION, DURING FISCAL 24-25, $149,400 IN FOUNDATION INITIATIVES WERE APPROVED WHICH WILL FOCUS ON HIGH PRIORITY AREAS SUCH AS PERRY COUNTY HEALTH COALITION, NONPROFIT CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT, WORKPLACE WELLNESS, AND SUSTAINABLE FOOD SYSTEMS.IN THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR, THE FOUNDATION AWARDED $2,455,196 FOR 85 GRANTS AND OTHER ASSISTANCE TO LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS. AN ADDITIONAL $443,413 WAS PUT BACK INTO THE LOCAL COMMUNITY FROM INITIATIVES APPROVED IN PRIOR FISCAL YEARS.PROGRAMS AT SADLER HEALTH CENTER RECEIVED 18% OF THE TOTAL GRANTS AND INITIATIVE FUNDING FOR HEALTH SERVICES THAT INCLUDE DENTAL CARE AND COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS TO PROVIDE OUTREACH, COMMUNITY EDUCATION, INFORMAL COUNSELING, SOCIAL SUPPORT AND ADVOCACY. THE FOUNDATION MADE INVESTMENTS OF $25,000 IN LANDISBURG EMS FOR THEIR CITIZEN RESPONDER CAMPAIGN IN PERRY COUNTY, $17,000 FOR INCREASED FOOD STORAGE AND REFRIGERATION CAPACITY TO THE PAW PACKS PROGRAM IN CUMBERLAND COUNTY, AND $4,947 TO CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA CONSERVANCY TO INSTALL AN ADA-COMPLIANT WHEELCHAIR RAMP TO SUPPORT EQUITABLE ACCESS TO LETORT SPRING GARDEN PRESERVE'S HISTORIC BARN. CARLISLE CARES WAS AWARDED $85,000 TO IMPROVE ITS CAPACITY TO ADDRESS HOMELESSNESS IN GREATER SHIPPENSBURG.

THE PARTNERSHIP AWARDED $96,480 TO 12 NONPROFITS TO ADDRESS EMERGENT SOCIAL ISOLATION ISSUES ACROSS THE ENTIRE SERVICE AREA. THESE GRANTS WERE REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY A GROUP OF PEOPLE WITH LIVED EXPERIENCE FROM OUR COMMUNITY AS PART OF OUR NEW PARTICIPATORY GRANTMAKING PROGRAM. OTHER ASSISTANCE TO LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS FOCUSED ON INCREASING ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE, AFFORDABLE HOUSING, FOOD SECURITY, ADDRESSING OPIOID ADDICTION, AND ADVANCING HIGH-QUALITY YOUTH DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
