RTW

We power community initiatives and scientific research to improve the health of underserved populations

2026 Community Health Grant Cycle

RTW Foundation has launched its 2026 Community Health Grant Cycle, that provides funding to organizations working to address barriers to safe, affordable access to care and advance health equity across New York City. We believe our communities are strongest when we work together, and through grant funding, collaboration, and collective action, we support local organizations driving meaningful change. Submit a letter of inquiry by August 10th.

01 Rare Disease

Supporting scientific initiatives to aid in the development of medicines for neglected rare diseases

There are over 10,000 rare diseases, yet less than 5% of them have effective treatments. We collaborate with research teams, families, and advocacy organizations from around the world to work towards treatment for these conditions.

02 Community Health

Building partnerships with local organizations to advance health equity in New York City

We are committed to supporting underserved communities. We build partnerships with community-based organizations to respond to the needs of our neighbors.
