Our Work
Strong leadership and organizational management can determine success and sustainability. PHI helps build the capacity of communities, nonprofit organizations, local governments and individuals so they can be more effective at achieving their mission and creating lasting change.
We trust in the wisdom of communities to know what works best for them.
To move the needle on our greatest public health challenges, our leaders and institutions need to be as effective as possible.
With diverse programs spanning the globe, PHI’s capacity building initiatives address a wide range of critical health issues, from aging populations to global health and more.

Pioneering Expertise
PHI Priority
Building Health Equity
In 2023, PHI launched the Together Toward Equity Fellowship to strengthen community leadership and organizational impact by investing in an effective, sustainable and equity-focused public health infrastructure for the future. The program provides a dynamic, year-long learning experience for fifteen individuals working in nine California counties, selected from community-based organizations across the state. Fellows meet regularly as a learning cohort, receive coaching from experts in the field, and advance projects that elevate their skills. By recognizing community organizations as trusted, equal partners, and building sustainable leadership within them, we can impact the root causes of long-term, systemic inequities.
