LET US REINTRODUCE OURSELVES

Tara Health Foundation is a 100% mission-aligned, spend out foundation committed to doing philanthropy differently in service of gender, economic, and racial justice.

Dream with us, breathe with us, grow with us. We invite you to join us in exploring what’s possible when we question philanthropy’s fundamental assumptions.

Here’s where our questioning has led us:

For a decade, we’ve worked to align all of our assets–investments, relationships, governance, and grant dollars–in support of our mission.

100% Mission Alignment

We're redistributing all of our wealth and resources into an ecosystem of movement builders that will steward our mission into the future.

Philanthropy happens in the spaces between people. True connection, with all its messiness, isn’t just how we do our work; it is the work.

Trust-Based Philanthropy

Transformation requires more than new systems and practices; it demands shifts in how we understand power, wealth, and connection, to expand possibilities in our work and world.
