What is the Pan American Health and Education Foundation?
The Pan American Health and Education Foundation (PAHEF), founded in 1968, is a US-based nonprofit organization that builds public health expertise leading to innovative development of healthier generations in the Americas by partnering with the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), the private sector, and major public health research, policy, and development groups. As an independent organization, PAHEF supports PAHO’s vision of health for all. PAHEF is independent of political, racial or religious restrictions, and is free to work on behalf of all of the segments of our hemispheric community. The Foundation is led by a Board of Trustees comprised of health experts, business leaders, and academics and has valuable experience in administering health-related grants and in cross-border grant making.
