Since its creation in 1999, the Riverside Health System Foundation has served, as a flexible and responsible leader in addressing the critical and changing health needs of the community.  The Foundation's grant making, capacity building, leadership and convening activities challenge us to develop strong collaborative relationships with local agencies and organizations that share our vision for a healthier community.

Through our growing grant making program the Riverside Health System Foundation is helping to strengthen the existing community-based nonprofits and to establish new programs that are critical to addressing some of the most pressing health needs in our region.
