7 Elements of a Healthy Community
We are committed to creating an inclusive community where everyone has equitable access to opportunity and the benefits of a healthy community.
The Seven Elements of a Healthy Community framework has guided our work for nearly ten years. It identifies seven different elements of community life that when combined, make up a healthy community. This framework allows us to take a deeper dive and examine the combined philanthropic investment, strategies and community engagement within each element.
Arts & Culture
A healthy community encourages a wide variety of recreational, historical, and cultural opportunities.
Basic Needs
A healthy community creates a compassionate social, economic, and political environment where people have full opportunities to meet basic needs for themselves and their families, to build assets, and to advance themselves.
Economy
A healthy community fosters an economy that is diverse, vital and innovative, that grows strong businesses and business districts, and creates adequate jobs and income for residents.
Education
A healthy community opens themselves to new ideas and provides high quality education and life-long learning for all members of the community.
Health
A healthy community assures access to high quality health services on a personal, community and systems level and promotes a healthy lifestyle.
Neighborhoods
A healthy community assures equal opportunities to participate in decision making and enhance diversity, promoting a sense of pride and shared purpose.
