This map is created in partnership with the National Collaborative for Health Equity (NCHE). It is intended to be a living resource, with regular updates. Use the checkboxes below to filter the map for the following data categories:
- Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation (TRHT) Places: In 2017, 14 multi-sector collaborations emerged in locations across the United States and received funding from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. NCHE is now collaborating with these original TRHT Places to expand a community of learning and practice in which these organizations can work together to continue their journey of leading transformational change.
- Leveraging HOPE: Leveraging HOPE applies comprehensive health data collected under NCHE’s groundbreaking Health Opportunity and Equity (HOPE) Initiative, supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF). In 2020, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation funded NCHE to create a HOPE Data Community of Practice that fostered more equitable COVID pandemic recovery strategies. Leveraging HOPE helps develop collaborative regional strategies that leverage state and local capabilities to apply and update existing HOPE data resources to local priorities. With generous support from RWJF: Leveraging HOPE to Transform Public Health Data Systems is expanding the community of practice to now include 22 health and social justice organizations.
- Culture of Health Leadership Institute (CoHLI) for Racial Healing: An 12-month leadership experience supported by RWJF that uses the TRHT framework to strengthen the ecosystem of practitioners advancing racial and health equity in their work. As of 2025, NCHE has hosted three cohorts totaling 120 diverse leaders representing many different experts within the five TRHT pillars. Leaders exchange ideas and present work based on what they are doing, and can further enhance applying the TRHT strategic framework.
- AAC&U’s TRHT Campus Centers: American Association of Colleges & Universities (AAC&U) is partnering with higher education institutions to develop TRHT Campus Centers to prepare the next generation of leaders to break down systemic racism and dismantle the belief in a hierarchy of human value. Guided by a common vision, each of the TRHT Campus Centers develops and implements a visionary action plan to engage campus and community stakeholders to uproot biases. This work also inspires the next generation of leaders and thinkers to advance justice, which helps to build more equitable communities.
- ALA’s TRHT Great Stories Club: An initiative funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Libraries across the U.S. were selected in 2019 to participate in the Great Stories Club series on TRHT, a thematic reading and discussion program series that engages underserved teens through literature-based library outreach programs and racial healing work. The grantees represent public libraries, academic libraries, school/K-12 libraries, library associations, and community partner organizations, including alternative schools, youth detention centers, afterschool programs, and other organizations that serve youth.
- ‘Racism as a Public Health Crisis’ Declarations: Includes locations where local and state leaders have declared racism a public health crisis or emergency. These declarations can be an important first step on the journey to establishing a TRHT coalition. Advancing racial equity and justice requires the allocation of resources and strategic action.
- Congressional support for TRHT: Includes Congressional cosponsors of H.Con.Res.19 and/or H.R.40 in the 117th Congress. These resolutions have not been introduced in the 118th Congress. For Senate support see S.Con.Res.6.
- HHS Regions: The Office of Intergovernmental and External Affairs of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services hosts 10 Regional Offices that directly serve state and local organizations. Each regional office maintains close contact with state, local, and tribal partners and addresses the needs of communities and individuals served through HHS programs and policies.
