Founded in 1888, Heartland Alliance’s doors have been open – through WWI, the Great Depression, WWII, the Vietnam War, the outbreak of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the 80s, the Haiti earthquake, and our most recent economic recession – providing help, hope, and opportunity to those who have needed it most.

They move individuals, families, and communities from crisis to stability and on to success.

They work to ensure that comprehensive health care – medical, dental, mental health and substance use treatment – is fully available to those experiencing poverty or trauma. They provide legal protection for people in danger at home and abroad. They provide economic opportunity, helping people in and threatened by poverty build the skills and gain the tools necessary to secure a job, improve their well-being and reach their goals.
