A National Investment Opportunity for Public Health
For more than 150 years, APHA has served as a national leader in public health, connecting research, policy, workforce development and communications to improve health and strengthen communities. APHA works across government, academia, healthcare and community-based organizations, providing funders with an opportunity to support public health on a national scale.
Philanthropic investment in APHA supports and strengthens the relationships, platforms and systems that enable public health to function, and helps APHA respond to current challenges while building capacity for the future.
Investing in Public Health
Public health systems are under pressure. Workforce shortages, misinformation and persistent inequities make it harder for communities to prevent disease, respond to emerging threats and improve health.
Philanthropic partnership gives APHA the flexibility and capacity to expand proven work, respond to emerging needs and connect resources with opportunities for meaningful national impact. Through its national network and platforms, APHA connects research, policy, workforce development and communications so information leads to action.
