HERHealthEQ is driving health equity by providing medical devices and equipment to developing countries for women's health issues. HERHealthEQ's vision is a world where healthcare, medical devices, and equipment are accessible to all women, equally. Women are the cornerstone of the family unit. When a woman becomes ill and does not receive the care she needs, the entire family unit is at greater risk of remaining in a cycle of poverty. We focus on providing equipment involved in the treatment of the top non-communicable diseases (NCDs) that affect the developing world which include cancers affecting women, maternal health, diabetes, and heart disease.

Service Dogs of Virginia's mission is to raise and train exceptional dogs and match them with individuals with disabilities in Virginia to create greater freedom and independence. Service Dogs of Virginia trains dogs in the following areas: Physical Assistance - these dogs are trained to assist people in wheelchairs with tasks such as opening doors, picking up items, getting the phone, and so much more. Autism Service - these dogs are trained to assist autistic children and their families by preventing children from impulsively running off, facilitating easier transitions from one activity to the next, assisting with social interactions, improving communication, and more. Diabetic Alert - these dogs are trained to alert owners to low blood glucose thereby helping to prevent short-term health consequences such as passing out or having seizures, as well as long-term consequences such as early death, loss of limbs and blindness that result from uncontrolled blood sugar swings. Amazingly, a well-trained dog is more reliable than available technology for "brittle" diabetics. We only place service dogs with clients who live in Virginia as both dogs and people require periodic "tune ups." When a program is geographically inaccessible, people go without help reducing the effectiveness of their canine helpmates. SDV makes a commitment to provide ongoing training and support for each individual with which it places a dog. If an individual's needs change, SDV provides additional training to customize their dog's commands and tasks. This ongoing relationship also provides us the opportunity to observe each dog's progress and to ensure it is being utilized to its maximum benefit. Education - In addition to the above programs, we consider educating the general public about service dogs an important adjunct program. From speaking to a wide variety of groups to having open houses and other public events, SDV staff and volunteers inform people about the importance of service dogs, their training, and their impact on the lives of individuals with disabilities.

The California School-Based Health Alliance (formerly the California School Health Centers Association) improves the health and academic success of children and youth by advancing health services in schools.  We envision a day when all of California's children and youth are healthy and achieving at their full potential. Since hiring our first paid staff in 2003, the Alliance has successfully grown to have an annual budget of more than $1,500,000 and thirteen staff.  We conduct policy work, promote the school based health center (SBHC) model, and assist SBHCs with program development to expand and strengthen school health services.  Our large network of collaborating partners includes 231 SBHCs, numerous school districts, federally qualified health centers and other providers, dozens of state and local policy organizations, and an e-communications network of more than 3,200 individuals. Our goal is to make school health centers an integral and sustainable part of the health care and educational systems. By putting health care where kids are – in schools – school health centers increase access to care and take health problems out of the classroom so that teachers can teach and students can learn.

Freedom Guide Dogs is a 501 (c)3 non-profit organization based in Upstate New York, which breeds, trains and places guide dogs with the blind and visually impaired through a distinctive program called Hometown Training at no cost to the recipient. Freedom was founded in 1991 and is celebrating 25 years of service. Freedom Guide Dogs' services are available to people along the East Coast of the United States at no cost with special consideration given to veterans and people with additional disabilities beyond visual impairment. We place Labrador Retrievers, Smooth Coat Collies, Bouvier des Flanders as guide dogs.
