The BUILD Difference

In 2015, five funders and eighteen communities set out together with the bold goal of advancing health equity in America through cross-sector and community driven approaches—so that everyone could have the opportunity to reach their optimal level of health.

Sixty-eight partnerships, twenty funders, and four cohorts of communities later, we are realizing the benefits and impact of this effort in terms of resources unlocked and change made.

We celebrate these collective milestones, learnings, and partnerships that have formed as a result of BUILD. We invite you to join us as we reflect on the impact BUILD communities have made, and look ahead at what’s to come.

Because of BUILD, we have convened 15+ partners in health, social, and human services and government around a shared vision of bridging gaps between residents and resources.
