The Fabric of California

Inspired by a vision of true inclusiveness, The California Endowment asked: What holds the diverse fabric of this state together? What ideals and shared values must we prioritize in order to keep the tapestry from unraveling?

In order to create a state of belonging, we must ensure that people of all backgrounds have access to fundamental rights such as housing, healthcare, and great food.

The matter of Belonging is core to our theory of change as a health equity-minded foundation.
