Ensuring Accountability

Our Commitment to Equity

Interact for Health is working to ensure people in our region have a just opportunity to live their healthiest lives, regardless of who they are or where they live. We are committed to conversations about equity that build connections and move us forward with enhanced insights and shared purpose. 

One way we will hold ourselves accountable is by collecting and publicly sharing data about our leadership, staff, and other areas that demonstrate our progress and opportunities to advance equity. Click to view our staff and Board demographics for 2023 and 2024. 

Our Commitment to Our Grantees

One of Interact for Health’s core values is:We partner with trust.We come to the table with humility, honesty, and transparency. We start by listening. 

We do this by asking our grantees directly about their experience working with us. Interact for Health has periodically (2004, 2010, 2021, 2024) commissioned a Grantee Perception Report in partnership with the Center for Effective Philanthropy (CEP), a nonprofit that helps funders improve their effectiveness. Through a confidential survey, CEP gathers feedback from grantees on our impact, communications, the grantmaking process, assistance beyond the grant, and more. Our results are then benchmarked against our past performance and against 350 other foundations.  

Input from our 2021 Grantee Perception Report drove us to make key changes to how we work and how we show up in our community. Responses to our 2024 Grantee Perception Report help us understand how well we met those goals and how we can continue to improve our partnerships. In 2024, 99 grantees were surveyed and 64 responded.  

Grantees reported that Interact for Health has significantly improved our performance and ranked higher than the average funder on the following areas:   

• Impact on grantees’ organization, local community, and field as well as public policy.  
• Strong understanding of the social, cultural, and socioeconomic factors that affect grantees’ work. 
• Demonstrates a commitment to health equity and justice.  
• Positive, frequent interactions and trusted relationships with Interact for Health staff, and robust assistance beyond the grant.  
• Strengthened communications and transparency about Interact for Health’s broader work and plans.  
• Helpful grant and reporting processes that facilitate learning and lessen grantee burden.  

Areas of improvement that were identified included: 

• Provide clear and ongoing communications about Interact for Health’s grantmaking priorities and goals.
• Increase transparency around grant selection processes, requirements, and timelines.  
• Examine Interact for Health’s typical grant characteristics (such as grant size, length, and restricted/unrestricted) and look for opportunities to provide a larger proportion of grantees with multi-year, unrestricted support.
