Giving Philosophy

The Teachers Health Foundation approaches giving by funding research that contributes to the understanding of risk factors and health conditions impacting their target communities. They believe in encouraging healthcare design that meets the needs of these communities and support translational research that leads to improved health and wellbeing outcomes. Their theory of change focuses on developing and implementing effective models of care, particularly in rural and remote areas, and addressing the prevention and management of prevalent health issues.
