Overview
Our Mission
The California Endowment’s mission is to expand access to affordable, quality health care for underserved individuals and communities and to promote fundamental improvements in the health status of all Californians.
Our Values
We envision a California that leads the nation as a powerful and conscientious voice for wellness, inclusion, and shared prosperity.
- Where the talent and genius of all young people are no longer left on the sidelines, but are central to the state’s future;
- Where California invests in the wellness of all and assures meaningful opportunities for all, particularly the next generations, and those who have been excluded from opportunity because of discrimination, marginalization and stigmatization;
- Where there is racial truth and reconciliation, justice and healing;
- Where public institutions are responsive to, and reflective of, the will of all the people;
- Where all have voice, and are empowered to participate in a robust democracy;
- Where health destiny is not determined by a person’s ZIP code;
- Ultimately making California the nation’s healthiest state, and a model that fulfills America’s true promise of equality and justice for all people.
