We work to share our commitment to our community partners every day through finding and creating funding opportunities, but what about community needs that are more out-of-the-box?

In 2023, the BHT board allocated funds for community events to elevate our community support and live out our mission and values. Better Health Together is committed to sponsoring events and community engagement activities that promote community wellness and elevate community voices.

Our Values:

1. Invest in organizations that align with our Mission & Vision.

This means we prioritize:

• organizations that are by and for impacted communities*.

• organizations currently partnered with BHT.

• organizations who support community-based equity education (beyond general fundraising), and promote community wellness, including sports & physical health (not just medical care 😊)

• activities that align around equity in practice

• organizations with smaller budgets who struggle to find funding opportunities

2. Limit to one sponsorship receipt per organization each year. A single request may include the costs of sponsoring multiple events and activities.

3. Award Sponsorship Grant amounts up to $5k.

4. Require that organizations must be a nonprofit with 501 (c)(3) designation.

If you have any questions, please reach out using email to reese@betterhealthtogether.org.

*BHT uses the term impacted communities to refer broadly to all groups that have been impacted by systems of oppression, such as Black, Indigenous, People of Color, 2SLGBTQA+, persons with a disability, legal-system impacted, low-income, persons experiencing housing instability, undocumented community members, refugee/immigrant people, rural community members, and more groups that face inequity.

Recognizing how our intersecting identities connect, it is important to call out that while white people may experience some of these forms of oppression, this experience is not the same as racism and cannot be racialized for them. A white person experiencing discrimination because of their disability does not have to consider how their race might have influenced their treatment (although if they are doing their anti-racist work, they should). In contrast, a black person with a disability in this example does not get the privilege of separating their experience of racism and the experience of ableism.
