Fayette Community Foundation has partnered with St. David’s Foundation to advance health equity through investment and action in our shared rural service area in Central Texas. Advancing health equity includes building and strengthening the capacity of our rural communities and equipping them with tools and resources to promote health and well-being across the lifespan. 

The Rural Community Health Fund is designed to invest in the people and places of rural central Texas. The ultimate goal is to uplift vulnerable and marginalized rural communities, nurturing the capacity needed to create conditions where all residents can thrive and achieve wellness. 

This fund is driven by a desire and commitment to collectively address the enduring impacts of trauma resulting from historic and systemic racism, poverty, and inequitable access to opportunities based on identity and location. It focuses on supporting those facing the greatest barriers to health and well-being.
