Making an Impact
1889 Foundation provides grants and community leadership for transformative work that improves the health of people and communities in Cambria and Somerset Counties.
In line with the World Health Organization, “health” is defined broadly as a “state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” We also endorse the paradigm of “population health” which recognizes that health is strongly influenced by the conditions within which people live. Beyond improving health, 1889 Foundation sees our purpose as “improving lives.”
