Overviewssss

We support organizations and programs that incorporate principles of diversity, equity and inclusion and trauma-informed practice. We believe it is critical for organizations and programs to make decisions using both community voice and data. It is our hope that grants we make bring about authentic partnership, collaboration, and systems change to improve emotional health and wellbeing for all.

The Foundation prioritizes supporting organizations that serve and are led by Black, Indigenous, and people of color. The Foundation does request information on the demographics of executive leadership, board members and staff.
