The Paso del Norte Health Foundation in El Paso, Texas is one of the largest private foundations on the U.S./Mexico border.

The Health Foundation works effectively across these boundaries in partnership and collaboration with other organizations to plan and implement programs that address disease prevention and health education. The main focus of the Health Foundation is to help those within the region who are most in need. To envision the region where all people, regardless of socio-economic status have the knowledge, resources, and environment they need to live healthy lives. To achieve this, the Health Foundation has developed a creative, pro-active approach to improving the long-term health of the region. Below are the health priority areas of funding:

Healthy Living
Disease Prevention & Management
Health Leadership

Unsolicited grant proposals are not accepted by the Health Foundation. However, when launching a new Request For Proposals (RFP), the Health Foundation offers grant workshops for nonprofit organizations to better understand the purpose of the initiative or program and how to respond to the RFP. Program officers are available to discuss ideas for future programs and welcome suggestions from regional organizations.

! Still can't get the jingle "Walk El Paso Walk" out of your head? Neither can we! 🎶

In 1998, the Paso del Norte Health Foundation launched Walk El Paso to encourage physical activity among sedentary residents through educational materials, walking groups, community events, and a media campaign. 👟

The initiative promoted the message, “Walk El Paso Walk, 20 minutes a day, three times a week,” to encourage people to be more active. The Foundation invested $2.5 million in the five-year initiative. Its success inspired the creation of Walk Doña Ana, Walk Otero, and Camino Juárez. 🇺🇸 🇲🇽
