ioby and the New York State Health Foundation are thrilled to present the participants of the 2016-2017 Healthy Neighborhoods Challenge!
Gifts to the projects below supported residents taking an active role in creating a culture of health in their neighborhoods.
Donations to these campaigns were matched dollar-for-dollar* by the New York State Health Foundation during 2016 and 2017. And so your donations went twice as far in supporting projects that are working to improve public health outcomes across New York State.
Thank you for supporting these amazing projects!
