\"\"<\/a>COATESVILLE \u2014 The Brandywine Health Foundation has announced 23 grants totaling $416,000, bringing the Foundation\u2019s total giving since it began awarding grants and scholarships in 2002 to $16,204,093 in the Foundation\u2019s Fifteenth Anniversary year.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur community is very fortunate to have so many strong and effective non-profits here in Coatesville. I applaud the efforts of our grantmaking committee, led by Margaret Rivello, Executive Director of the Free Clinic Association of Pennsylvania and former Director of the Chester County Health Department,” said Dana M. Heiman, Interim CEO of the Brandywine Health Foundation. “This committee\u2019s thoughtful and detailed review of each proposal led to the foundation\u2019s Board of Directors unanimous approval of 23 critically important grants.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since 2001, the Brandywine Health Foundation has had a transformational impact on some of the toughest national problems right here in our local community.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur dynamic board and talented staff are committed to helping build a greater Coatesville through our grantmaking, programs, and partnerships focused on the foundation\u2019s strategic priorities: health equity, healthy youth and healthy community,\u201d\u00a0Heiman continued.<\/p>\n

The leaders of the Brandywine Health Foundation say they believe everyone deserves to be healthy and to grow up in a vibrant community, according to organization leaders. The challenge is that the greater Coatesville area has significant disparities in health based on race, income, ethnicity and geography. The foundation is changing lives and building a healthy community by: investing in organizations that help people live healthier lives; investing in our young people; investing in projects that help Coatesville thrive; and bringing community members together to develop new solutions and new leaders for positive and lasting change in Coatesville.<\/p>\n
