Grantmaking
We fund organizations and projects which disrupt our current behavioral health space and create impact at the individual, organizational, and societal levels.

Our participatory funds alter traditional grantmaking by shifting power
to impacted communities to direct resources and make funding decisions.
Special Grant Programs
We build public and private partnerships to administer grant dollars toward targeted programs.
Program Related Investments
We provide funds at below-market interest rates that can be particularly useful to start, grow, or sustain a program, or when results cannot be achieved with grant dollars alone.

Clinical Trauma Counseling
Community Fund for Wellness
The Clinical Trauma Counseling utilizes a person-centered, integrated approach to providing therapy for immigrants who have been forced to migrate from their home countries.
About
Alianzas’ Clinical Trauma Counseling Program, now in its 8th year focuses on folks experiencing forced migration due to gang violence, gross violation of human rights, sex trafficking, rape, corruption, political persecution and extreme poverty. Most of our clients are from Guatemala, Mexico, Brazil, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras and many other Latin American countries. The program targets uninsured children and adults at no cost to them and in their Spanish language.
Alianzas’ 13 years of experience in our community has poised us to offer mental health services in a culturally competent and compassionate manner. They apply a person-centered, integrative, multidisciplinary approach to therapy that addresses mental health and current life situations such as housing, food insecurities and employment issues. Frequent team meetings ensure we are being receptive and responsive to the CTC participants’ daily needs and as a result, greater impacts are experienced in therapy. With the aid of interpreters whenever necessary, contracted clinicians perform one-on-one therapy for traumas experienced before during and after migration in addition to domestically rooted trauma. Group therapy or “Community Healing” is offered for women who suffer from clinical depression, anxiety and panic disorders. Most of the children treated include family therapy. Frequent “Wellness Checks” are conducted after therapy is completed and for those waiting to be paired with a therapist.
