The Organizations behind AGALI

The Public Health Institute (PHI)

The Public Health Institute (PHI) is an independent, nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting health, well-being and quality of life for people throughout California, across the nation and around the world. As one of the largest and most comprehensive public health organizations in the nation, we are at the forefront of research and innovations to improve the efficacy of public health statewide, nationally and internationally.

For 40 years, PHI’s philosophy of public health has acknowledged the complex web of factors that contribute to problems like cancer, poor nutrition, violence, asthma or AIDS, and has recognized the integral role that all institutions and sectors play in promoting healthy choices and creating healthy environments. PHI’s programs include both inspiring leaders and surprising teams that involve the diverse expertise of communities. From health officials to grassroots organizers, and marketing experts to nurses and even race car drivers, our programs consistently demonstrate that everyone has a role to play in ensuring the public’s health.

The UN Foundation

The UN Foundation, a public charity, was created in 1998 with entrepreneur and philanthropist Ted Turner’s historic $1 billion gift to support UN causes and activities. We are an advocate for the UN and a platform for connecting people, ideas and resources to help the United Nations solve global problems.

We help the UN take its best work and ideas to scale—through advocacy, partnerships, constituency building and fund-raising.

  • Partnerships because we have learned what can be achieved when the public and private sectors work together through the United Nations;
  • Advocacy because we know the leverage and impact that sound policy can have on the kind of social, economic and environmental change the UN seeks;
  • Community-building because the UN was created for “we the people,” and all of us can give back and contribute to a better world; and
  • We need new and additional resources to power solutions to global challenges.

Under the direction of our distinguished Board of Directors, we also work closely with UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the United Nations Office for Partnerships. Find out more about our Board of Directors or our relationship with the United Nations.
