Health Foundation of South Florida

What they do

The Health Foundation of South Florida (HFSF) is a mission-driven organization focused on improving health and well-being in Broward, Miami-Dade, and Monroe counties. Born from the sale of a nonprofit hospital, it has invested over $148 million historically into the community. Unlike traditional foundations that solely issue grants, HFSF has adopted a "catalyst" model, launching major regional initiatives like the South Florida Anchor Alliance to drive economic prosperity as a driver of health. Recently, they launched an Impact Investing Fund to provide flexible capital (loans/equity) to ventures addressing housing, food security, and access to care, distinguishing them as an active financial player in the South Florida social impact ecosystem.

What they look for

HFSF operates on the principle that health is determined largely by social and economic factors (Social Determinants of Health - SDOH). They invest to dismantle systemic barriers to health, specifically focusing on racial equity, economic stability, and access to care for low-to-moderate-income populations.
