Currently operating in Chicago, Boston and Flint, Michigan, the Association’s Social Impact Fund empowers communities with localized resources to change their own trajectory of health and well-being. Investments by the American Heart Association, the world’s leading nonprofit organization focused on heart and brain health for all, support solutions in the areas of economic empowerment, healthy food access, housing, recidivism (a person’s relapse into criminal behavior), access to quality healthcare, transportation and educational opportunities.
Boston, MA
We’re helping end the cycle of homelessness, improving the mental health of fathers, supporting a tech startup that helps nonprofit groups and uninsured people, and more. 
Flint, MI
Our Michigan investments are connecting hungry families with farm-fresh produce and helping find jobs for former inmates and attacking a wide range of urban problems.
Chicago, IL
Investments here will help a small grocery store with big ambitions for its community; promote a project that uses smart technology to relieve food deserts; and train workers to check blood pressure at local churches.Social Impact Fund Supporters
