Direct Relief’s Fund for Health Equity Reaches Organizations in All 50 U.S. States with
More than $67 Million in Support
Since 2021, more than 300 grants have been issued to community organizations focused on
eliminating health disparities. In the latest round of funding, $4 million was awarded to 28
organizations.
FEB. 4, 2026 – Direct Relief today announced that more than $67 million has reached
community organizations in all 50 U.S. states to organizations working to eliminate health
disparities and improve healthcare quality.
Direct Relief’s Fund for Health Equity was launched in 2021 through the generous support
of the AbbVie Foundation, Eli Lilly and Company, and Mackenzie Scott. Since then, the
Fund has provided assistance to 301 organizations focused on diversification of the
healthcare workforce, reducing health disparities, and leveraging technology and
innovation to improve access to reliable care.
Included in that total are $4 million in grants to 28 organizations issued this month in the
latest round of funding.
“The organizations receiving this support from the Fund for Health Equity are critically
important to their communities and play key roles in addressing the systemic barriers that
impact health outcomes,” said Dr. Byron Scott, Direct Relief’s Chief Health Officer and CoChair of the Fund for Health Equity. “This support allows them to do even more to help
people reach their potential and live healthy lives.”
The AbbVie Foundation committed $10 million over five years to the Fund for Health
Equity in 2020. Since then, the Foundation’s support has enabled Direct Relief to
distribute grants to 50 organizations. This year, the Foundation is awarding $1.58 million in
grants to 10 additional organizations through the Fund.
“We are honored to continue our partnership with Direct Relief and proud to support the
2026 Fund for Health Equity grant recipients who are working to address health disparities
across the United States,” said Keya Milla, President, AbbVie Foundation and Vice
President, Corporate Responsibility & Global Philanthropy, AbbVie. “This longstanding
partnership exemplifies the AbbVie Foundation’s mission to advance health equity and our
commitment to driving transformative change in communities so that everyone can live
their healthiest life.”
Lilly also supported the Fund with a $5 million commitment in early 2021, as part of the
Lilly 30×30 effort, which aims to improve access to quality health care for 30 million people
living in resource-limited settings annually by 2030.
With the support from Lilly’s commitment, Direct Relief has been able to distribute a
portion of its Health Equity Fund to 20 awardees across the U.S. since 2021, and an
additional four new awardees this year.
“Lilly is proud to contribute to Direct Relief’s Fund for Health Equity in support of Direct
Relief’s charitable work to eliminate health disparities and improve access to quality
healthcare in resource-limited communities across the United States. We look forward to
the continued impact that will be made by the community-based organizations supported
by the Fund,” said Cynthia Cardona, Lilly’s Vice President of Social Impact.
The Fund for Health Equity continues to grow, supporting a broad range of community-based organizations addressing issues such as chronic disease management, maternal
and child health, mental health services, and culturally competent care.
