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.

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.

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.

Relationship-Centered 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.

Theory of Transformation

What becomes possible when philanthropy truly shifts the flow of power and resources?

A line reveals itself and it's journey as it evolves, drawing a nonlinear path that makes a shift happen.

Make Shift Happen

You’re invited to dive deep alongside us into the sticky questions philanthropy has been reluctant to ask. Join us in exploring how we all can work differently to support change—leading with relationships, sharing power, and transforming from the inside out.
