Family Health Project started with two direct giving pilots in Massachusetts:
One in Lynn, with Lynn Community Health Center in May 2021, followed by another in Roxbury with Whittier Street Health Center. FHP now supports 20 families in each community, offering direct financial support to improve maternal and family health.
Real change. Real results.
These pilots were just the beginning.
Now, we're expanding, using our learnings to reach more families, strengthen community partnerships, and scale a model that puts resources directly where they're needed most. Our momentum is growing—and so is our impact.
See the full results in our Impact Report from the Lynn Community Health Center pilot program.
