Thank you, Stanford, for supporting the Health Trust! Your gift will support seniors and other neighbors in need with healthy food and other critical services.

    The mission of The Health Trust is to build health equity in Silicon Valley. We believe that everyone in our community should have the opportunity to be healthy. A person’s income, race, immigration status, language, age, gender, or zip code should never act as a barrier to health.

    At the Health Trust, we use a multifaceted approach to tackle health disparities plaguing the most vulnerable populations in our community. As a funder, provider, and advocate, we create lasting change for the people we serve and for the systems and policies affecting their health.

    With a focus on Improving Health through FoodMaking Chronic Conditions More Preventable and Manageable, and Prioritizing Health in Housing, the Health Trust brings the community together to share in a vision of a healthy Silicon Valley with no racial health disparities.

    As a provider, the Health Trust provides direct services, such as food and nutrition services, including Meals On Wheels, medically tailored meals, and a food pantry; medical and non-medical supports for people at risk of, or living with, HIV/AIDS and other chronic conditions; and housing support for previously homeless families and individuals.

    As an advocate, the Health Trust champions systems and policy changes that align with our mission and focus areas. As a funder, we award grants to nonprofit and public agencies that support the health and well-being of residents in Santa Clara and northern San Benito counties.

    About The Health Trust

    The Health Trust was formed in 1996 from the sale of a local nonprofit hospital system to a for-profit corporation. Since then, we have served Silicon Valley as a nonprofit operating foundation. Our mission is to build health equity in Silicon Valley. We believe everyone should have the opportunity to be healthy. A person’s income, race, immigration status, language, age, or zip code should never act as a barrier to health. To that end, we provide direct services, invest in community-based organizations whose work aligns with our mission, and advocate for policies and initiatives that help build health equity.
