BOLD IDEAS
Change Requires Risk
The root causes of health inequities are systemic and deeply entrenched. To disrupt them, we must be willing to push boundaries and take risks.

Partnering for Change
At Michael Reese, we believe philanthropy has a vital role to play in fueling bold, innovative ideas—ideas with the power to transform systems, shift narratives, and build a more equitable society.
As a public charity, made possible by community-led vision, risk-taking, and ingenuity, we carry both the privilege and responsibility to invest in new approaches that confront complex challenges—especially those too often overlooked or deemed too risky.


We see ourselves as catalytic partners. We embrace uncertainty and are willing to take calculated risks because we know that breakthrough change requires experimentation, iteration, and learning.
Michael Reese is committed to supporting the thinkers, builders, and changemakers who are reimagining what’s possible.
