Foundation (EHF) believes communities hold the solutions to the
most pressing issues they face, and the foundation is dedicated to
a community-centered approach to building healthy and thriving
communities in eastern Washington. EHF is a private health
conversion foundation formed in 2008 with philanthropic assets of
approximately $103M, including $20M designated as a 501(c)(4). At
