GHRR Alliance and HIFI

Health Initiatives Foundation, Inc. (HIFI) is a Washington, D.C.-based 501C3 non-profit corporation.  HIFI was originally incorporated in Maryland in 1995 by Dr. Michael McDonald (HIFI’s current executive director), C. Everett Koop (former U.S. Surgeon General), Lt. General (ret.) Alexander Sloan (former Surgeon General of the Air Force), and Dave J. Taylor (former COO of the Howard Hughes Foundation).  HIFI is used as the 501C3 non-profit organization for charitable gifts and donations focused on health, human security, emergency management, and development projects in the United States and internationally.  HIFI runs the Race to Resilience public / private consortium and replicates the Resilience Systems in high severity disasters through the Race to Resilience public / private consortium. 

HIFI is the managing and fiscal agent for the Global Health Response and Resilience Alliance.  The Alliance is focused on reducing vulnerability and the building of resilience.  It specializes in the prevention and management of large-scale social crisis in many parts of the United States and around the world in which communities have been impacted by severity level 3, 4, and 5 crises.  To review examples of HIFI’s work and Alliance engagements, please see:
