More about the bi3 Fund
bi3 is a 501(c)(3) organization on a mission to advance health equity and fuel innovation for all people in Greater Cincinnati. bi3 leverages its strategic partnership with TriHealth to spark and scale new approaches to healthcare and partners with community-based organizations to fuel new solutions to deep-seated community health issues.
bi3 envisions a day when every person has a fair and just opportunity to be as healthy as possible—a day when a person’s health can no longer be predicted by race, ethnicity, ability or zip code. bi3 partners with organizations that apply a racial equity lens to their work, reduce health disparities, have diverse leadership, and listen to and engage with community members in priority setting and decision-making.
A philanthropic initiative launched by Bethesda Inc., bi3 drives innovation in healthcare and improves community health outcomes in Greater Cincinnati. The name bi3 reflects our Bethesda heritage and the three core pillars that underlie our work—investments, ideas, and impact. Since 2010, bi3 has awarded more than $105 million in grants to TriHealth and community-based organizations. This funding has helped attract new funding and resources to the region, enabling bi3 partners to achieve even greater scale and impact.
