To advance health equity through coverage and care for underserved people in our region.
The Reach Healthcare Foundation gives around a regional health-access mission: advancing health equity through coverage and care for underserved people in its service area. Recent awards show a broad safety-net strategy, with grants supporting community clinics, coverage navigation, advocacy groups, and organizations serving immigrant, refugee, rural, and BIPOC communities. The foundation’s recent record includes a $302,500 grant to Community Care Network of Kansas in Topeka for Bridge the Coverage Divide and Strengthen the Safety Net, and a $285,000 grant to Vibrant Health in Kansas City, Kansas for Close the Health Equity Gap and Strengthen the Safety Net. Its grantmaking also reaches beyond direct clinical care into the systems around it. Awards have gone to organizations working on enrollment assistance, care coordination, mental health access, oral health safety-net support, and Medicaid-related policy work. The pattern is not limited to one type of grantee: the foundation funds health centers, advocacy organizations, coalition partners, and community-based nonprofits. Several of the larger recent grants were made in 2024 and 2025, alongside repeated support for some organizations across multiple years.
Coverage enrollment and navigation are central to the foundation’s work. It gave $181,000 to Migrant Farmworkers Assistance Fund in Kansas City, Missouri for Bridge the Coverage Divide, Close the Health Equity Gap, and Strengthen the Safety Net, and $150,000 to Jewish Vocational Service Bureau Of Kansas City for the same broad priorities. The foundation also supports care coordination and connector roles. One example is $180,000 to HCC Network in Lexington, Missouri for Bridge the Coverage Divide, Close the Health Equity Gap, and Strengthen the Safety Net. Another is $136,000 to AdHoc Group Against Crime in Kansas City, Missouri for Close the Health Equity Gap and Strengthen the Safety Net. Safety-net infrastructure is a third thread. The foundation awarded $157,000 to Mattie Rhodes Center in Kansas City, Missouri and $130,000 to BlaqOut Inc in Kansas City, Missouri, both for strengthening the safety net. It also backs health equity work tied to specific communities, including $135,000 to The Village Initiative Inc in Kansas City, Kansas.
