Protecting public health as a public service.

Now, and in the future.

Why invest in NPHC

There are many public health groups, but none like us.

We are the primary source

Built from insider knowledge of how the agencies run that no outside group can recreate.

We work across three areas at once

Community, conversation, and government. Public health is being lost in all three, so we refuse to choose.

We are where the trust still is

Confidence in federal public health has collapsed. We’re a voice people trust and a bridge between governments and the public.

We move at the speed of crises

Our Rapid Response Reserve empowers us to act on communications, policy changes or funding cuts without relying on bureaucracy.

We are volunteer-powered

Our media, data, advocacy, and operations have run on donated expertise. Funding just increases our capacity.

Current resources and impacts

What started as a movement of fired public health professionals has grown into a nationally recognized public health organization, The National Public Health Coalition. In just over a year, we have built a strong organizing coalition that’s focused on putting the public back in public health.

We’ve become:

  • the experts reporters call
  • the resource Members of Congress use
  • the source the public trusts
300+

100+

The ask

What your support funds: One system, not a list of projects.

THE OUTCOME: public health protected as a vital government service — now, and in the future
