Healthy Communities Foundation is a small to mid-sized philanthropic grantmaking organization based in Riverside, Illinois. It operates as a community-informed foundation that aims to measurably improve the health and well-being of individuals, families, and communities in its service region by promoting health equity, quality, and access to care. The foundation achieves this by awarding grants to programs and organizations that address barriers to care and advance equitable health outcomes for people regardless of where they were born, live, or work. The organization maintains a focus on serving communities in its region and communicates its work through reporting and program-related initiatives. In 2023, it launched a podcast called 100 Latina Birthdays, reflecting an effort to elevate community perspectives. In 2022 it released a statewide community benefit report, contributing to public documentation of health-related community benefits in its broader sector.
