RWJF’s Truth, Repair and Transformation (TRT) process helps us address the root causes of health disparities by more explicitly focusing on truth-telling, repair, and accountability as necessary conditions for health equity and justice.
Our TRT process systematically examines the origins of our wealth, our grantmaking impact, our internal culture, and the ways our practices have neglected or harmed communities most impacted by health inequities. By learning from our past, we can repair trust with communities and ensure we are better partners to grantees as we collectively work towards a future where health is a right for all.
Transparency and accountability about RWJF’s historical legacy are key to the Foundation’s equity journey.
Our past is very much alive in our present, and learning from it is the most effective way to become the strongest partners to organizations paving the way to health equity and justice
RWJF Equity and Culture Team Vice President Fiona Kanagasingam and Associate Vice President Maisha Simmons
RWJF is working toward a future where health is no longer a privilege, but a right for everyone—no matter who they are, where they live, or howmuch money they have.
