A Change in Focus

A letter from Dr. David Alexander, Foundation president and CEO, and Marjorie Fujiki, interim director of grants:

Dear Colleagues,

We are writing to let you know about a forthcoming change in focus for the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health.

For nearly a decade, the Foundation has devoted a major portion of its Grantmaking and Information work to promoting the emotional and behavioral health of preteens, ages 9 to 13. Over that time, the Foundation has invested $18 million in grants, funding 62 individual agencies that have served approximately 64,000 preteens.

Since the inception of its grantmaking program, the Foundation has periodically reassessed its priority areas, to ensure that we are making the most strategic use of funds. To this end, the Foundation last year undertook a strategic planning process, resulting in a Board decision to exit the preteen area over the next few years and change our focus to another critical area -- children with special health care needs.
