HAI is an independent 501c (3) non-profit organization that also functions as a center of the University of Washington’s (UW) Department of Global Health (DGH). Because of its 501c (3) status, funding comes directly to HAI from donors such as NIH, USAID, the Australian Government, CDC, the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, and others. Substantial funds are routed through the UW resulting in HAI having both UW funded staff positions and those that are independent and internationally funded directly by HAI.
HAI is a mission driven organization with a social justice orientation. Our mission is to promote policies and support programs that strengthen government primary health care and foster social, economic, and health equity for all. Our vision is a just world that promotes health and well-being, including universal access to quality health care.
HAI staff are responsible for managing global field operations in 3 countries including Mozambique, Timor-Leste, and Cote d’Ivoire. Field operations are staffed by approximately 135 HAI staff working in these countries. As an independent non-profit organization, HAI operates its own in-house human resources department, accounting department, and grants and budget management staff all of whom work both with, and independently from the University of Washington system.
In 2010, HAI completed its biggest project in Mozambique worth $66 million. Since 2010 HAI has been working to maintain an approximately $12 million a year operation, with focus on developing a diverse portfolio of funders.
