The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation

About The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation

RWJF is a leading national philanthropy paving the way, together, toward a future where health is no longer a privilege, but a right. What started as a modest mission to support vulnerable populations in local communities has transformed into a commitment to address structural racism, a root cause of health inequities in the United States. Our understanding and our commitment have deepened, and we continue to push ourselves to be more transparent and accountable as we work to create a more equitable society, centered in health and wellbeing. Through funding, convening, advocacy, evidence building, and impact investing, we work side-by-side with communities, practitioners, and institutions to get to health equity, faster and together. To transform health in our lifetime, RWJF funds research and initiatives focused on achieving health equity.
