Opportunity BasketHealth Equity Infrastructure Cooperative (HEIC)
A member-owned cooperative that pools capital from health organizations, foundations, and impact investors to collectively lease cloud infrastructure and AI tools at negotiated enterprise rates, then allocates compute capacity and licenses to member organizations on a cost-share basis. Members pay proportional fees based on usage, not upfront capital, with governance and reinvestment controlled by the member health organizations themselves.

Health organizations struggle to afford AI and cloud infrastructure needed to address health equity gapsUnderserved health organizations lack capital to implement AI and cloud solutions that could improve care access, maternal/child health, and food security programs. Traditional funding mechanisms don't cover expensive cloud infrastructure costs, forcing these organizations to choose between critical health equity initiatives and financial sustainability. AWS's $100M credit pledge reveals the market gap: organizations desperately need these tools but can't afford them at standard commercial rates.
