Collective light
Progress belongs to the community. We elevate local leadership and reflect the efforts of many.
Who we are
“Resol” means reflected sunlight. We see ourselves as a reflection of many hands and hearts — local leaders, educators, clinicians, volunteers, donors, and neighbors near and far.
What RESOL means
Resol is a Spanish word for sunlight reflected from a surface. The sun’s light is constant, generous, and shared by all. Those ideas shape our purpose.
- Collective light: Our work is a reflection of shared love, skill, and hope — never just one person or one organization.
- Sustainability: Like the steady sun, we build programs that last and grow with the community.
- Equity: Health is for everyone, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, or religion.
Our values
Guiding principles that show up in every program.
Sustainability
We prioritize programs that communities can maintain and grow for years to come.

We support systems where care is accessible and dignified for all people.
