Place-Based Health

What do you think of Place-Based Health? Have you heard of this term? I heard of this term when I had to research this term for my supervisor. It's very interesting that Annie E Casey Foundation is the earliest foundation to use place-base term for many years. Now more foundations are catching on and using this term as one of their goal areas.



Moving Forward While Staying In Place: Embedded Funders and Community Change. Chapin Hall. 2004
This study examines a group of eleven foundations actively engaged in place-based community-change initiatives. Foundations included in the study grant money directly to outside organizations or individuals, are located in the community in which they invest, and have staff and trustees who are personally engaged in the community-change work. http://www.chapinhall.org/article_abstract.aspx?ar=1379
