Health Assessment and Research for Communities

Help Bring Life-Changing Local Data to Our Community

HARC is a nonprofit dedicated to improving the quality of life in the Coachella Valley. We help community leaders, nonprofits, and funders understand our region's real health needs through accurate, objective research — so they can turn data into action. 

One of the most powerful ways we do this is through the Coachella Valley Community Health Survey, conducted every three years and shared back with the community free of charge. The survey covers topics such as healthcare access, mental health, food security, socioeconomic needs, air quality, and more. 

This year marks our seventh survey, uplifting the stories and voices of more than 2,500 residents who completed the 2025 survey. 

Thanks to this survey, our region has secured millions of dollars in funding for programs that support seniors, youth, and families, including: 

• Meal deliveries for isolated seniors
• Mental health counseling for teens
• HIV testing and prevention services
• Healthcare access for uninsured families

This survey gives our community a voice and ensures decisions are based on real needs, not assumptions.

Why Your Support Matters

Collecting community data is only the first step. Real change happens when that data reaches the people who can use it: nonprofits, hospitals, schools, foundations, and local leaders. 

Your support helps us deliver the 2025 survey results to the organizations and leaders who rely on this data to plan programs and advocate for resources. Sharing this data widely gives our community the evidence it needs to identify disparities, plan services, and advocate for resources.

Your support makes this data accessible and impactful, helping people in our community receive the care, services, and opportunities they deserve.

Our Goal

This Giving Tuesday, we're raising $15,000 to get our 2025 findings into the hands of 500+ nonprofit leaders, funders, hospital administrators, and local officials who make funding decisions. We're printing reports, hosting a data release event, and ensuring every organization leaves ready to write grants, plan programs, and advocate for resources.

When you give today, you're not just supporting a report—you're amplifying 2,500 community voices and helping turn their needs into funded solutions. Together, we can create lasting change and give our community the resources it needs to thrive.
