Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Local Funding Partnerships projects operate on an authentic, grassroots and personal level. The groundbreaking work of our partner organizations stimulates new ideas and creates ambitious approaches to health issues in vulnerable communities. The collaborative nature of the program, joining community efforts with a national foundation, provides an opportunity for the local funders and grant recipients to forge a lasting enterprise.

Often grantmakers are instrumental in convening groups that typically do not work together, including organizations from both inside and outside of the health sector. Ultimately, LFP defines our success by the fostering of an innovative concept, creating long-lasting partnerships and then, together creating sustainable solutions in our local communities.
