★ About the Coalition

Not a charity. A people’s infrastructure for health

Born in March 2020 when ER nurses, bodega owners, pastors and PhDs shared one group chat — C19 Coalition became the fastest community health network in the country. We don’t parachute in. We fund and train locals to lead.

We exist so zip code never decides survival.

COVID hit hardest where trust was lowest and access was thinnest. Hospitals had protocols; neighborhoods had questions. We closed that gap with block captains, school nurses, promotoras, and data nerds working side-by-side.

  • ✓ Community-first: 78% of funds go directly to local partners, not overhead.
  • ✓ Science with soul: CDC-aligned guidance translated into 28 languages + TikTok, radio, church bulletins.
  • ✓ Equity by design: priority to seniors, immunocompromised, essential workers, unhoused neighbors.
  • ✓ Built to stay: from emergency response to Long COVID, clean air and pandemic preparedness.
