The Sellers Dorsey Foundation is committed to ensuring more people are met with care that reflects their communities’ needs and personal realities.
Collaborations
The Sellers Dorsey Foundation believes that meaningful solutions to reduce, and ultimately eliminate health disparities are most often born through collaboration. By forging thoughtful partnerships and investing in shared innovation, we aim to help create healthier, more equitable futures for marginalized communities often left at the edges of care.
Among the Foundation’s collaborations:
- With the generous support of the Rockefeller Foundation, in 2012 the Sellers Dorsey Foundation hosted its first meeting to encourage this collaboration and build partnerships. This meeting brought together leaders in LGBT health policy, academics, broadcast and social media, and LGBT cultural competency training. Our report to the Rockefeller Foundation can be found here.
- The Sellers Dorsey Foundation provided policy expertise to a statewide LGBT equality organization, drafting the organization’s recommendations for LGBT inclusion in the State Plan on Aging, which is required by the Older Americans Act.
- The Sellers Dorsey Foundation teamed up with representatives from the Human Rights Campaign, the Equality Federation, and SAGE to produce and disseminate a webinar explaining new federal guidance on same-sex partners and Medicaid eligibility.
