The Social Impact Funds

Where you live shouldn’t determine how well, or how long, you live … but it does. The conditions in which we are born, live, learn, work, play and age — the social drivers of health — are a better predictor of health and life expectancy than our genetic code. In communities nationwide, people living in locations just a handful of miles apart can have a dramatic difference in life expectancy.
The American Heart Association’s Social Impact Funds were established to level the playing field.
Our financing fills a critical resource gap for traditionally overlooked and underfunded organizations — both for-profit and nonprofit — and catalyzes solutions that overcome barriers to high-quality, accessible health care, food security and economic empowerment. And for donors, we offer a unique opportunity to turn philanthropy into action that makes a real and exponential difference in peoples’ lives.
