What Partnership for Better Health does
Mission
The Partnership for Better Health champions and invests in ideas, initiatives, and collaborations that improve the health of the people and communities in our region.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The Partnership for Better Health (foundation) provides funding for grants and initiatives that seek to eliminate health disparities and address the roots of health issues, toward ensuring that all people have the chance to enjoy healthy lives. In line with our trust-based grant making approach, our grant priorities include three application categories comprised of general operating grants for organizations leading in equity work, project grants to address root issues and spark grants. Priority consideration is given to grantees that address issues like health equity, and social determinants of health, and which are centering people with lived experience. Further, each project and spark grant is assigned one or more core funding areas aligned with the social determinants of health (health care access and quality; social and community context; economic stability; education access and quality; and neighborhood and the built environment). In addition, during fiscal 24-25, $149,400 in foundation initiatives were approved which will focus on high priority areas such as perry county health coalition, nonprofit capacity development, workplace wellness, and sustainable food systems.in the…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $107M to $87M (−19%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
41% of PARTNERSHIP FOR BETTER HEALTH’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (51% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 6 funders, grant income rose $28k → $132k.
3 of 25 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 7% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $223k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest United Way of Carlisle & Cumberland County); $49k from one payer (the same organization on both sides, largest Partnership for Better Health). These are real filings, and they are not money PARTNERSHIP FOR BETTER HEALTH raised.
From the IRS filings of PARTNERSHIP FOR BETTER HEALTH’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
PARTNERSHIP FOR BETTER HEALTH leans on a few funders — its largest provides 57% of grant income and the top three 69%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 64% · 2018 37% · 2019 63% · 2020 32% · 2021 43% · 2022 21% · 2023 39% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
50% of PARTNERSHIP FOR BETTER HEALTH's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 68% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
PARTNERSHIP FOR BETTER HEALTH draws 83% of its grant income from funders outside Pennsylvania, across 4 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $303k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
