GRAAHI, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is at the forefront of the fight against health disparities. Founded on the principle of our Coalition of CARE – Community, Advocacy, Research, and Education, we’ve been working tirelessly for over two decades to address the disproportionate health burdens faced by Black Americans in Kent County and beyond.
While significant progress has been made, the COVID-19 pandemic underscored the persistent and pervasive nature of health inequities. To create a truly equitable future, we need to take bold action.
Every year we give aways hundreds of backpacks filled with supplies.
Provide a Diabetes Education Class to 20 participants.
Help support one student in our Pathways To Healthcare Careers Program.
Support 10 participants in our Senior Restoration Program at the KROC center.
Fund a full cohort of 15 participants to better their health.
Every dollar adds up to supporting our programs, staffing and outreach. While we receive generous support from grants, we need our community to support us at the grass-roots level.
Your tax-deductible funds will be used to fund community health clinics, community events, educational programs and support our general fund. You can specify how you want to allocate your gift on the donation form.
GRAAHI is a registered 501.3c non-profit. Your donation is tax-deductible and you will receive a yearly statement of your contributions.
Give of your time by volunteering to help us in the office, at events or remotely. Email us for more information.

African Americans experience significant disparities with chronic conditions, access to care, preventive screenings, and mental health.
At GRAAHI, we believe all people should have equal access to healthcare regardless of race.
