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

The Simple Way
Kensington Community Resilience Fund
Through our food choice pantry, community gardens, resource-sharing, and neighborhood celebrations, our staff of community members helps our residents meet their basic needs and creates an environment that feels safe and beautiful for them and their families, which is crucial for long-term improvements in individual and community health.
About
For the past 25 years, our desire has been to care for, support, and bolster our immediate neighbors here in Kensington through listening, learning, and invitation. Through our food choice pantry, community gardens, resource-sharing, and neighborhood celebrations, our staff of community members helps our residents meet their basic needs and creates an environment that feels safe and beautiful for them and their families, which is crucial for long-term improvements in individual and community health. We prioritize listening to, believing, and centering the stories, experiences, and needs of our neighbors and community as we seek to work for and with them.
While we have built an incredibly sustainable program over the years, our opportunities for growth are limited without an investment of additional funding. We want to collaborate with partner organizations in our community to build a hub of health that will provide multiple resources for our residents in a single location. We want to provide opportunities for employment to people in our community. We want to se the transformation in our neighborhood continue and increase. This grant will make a real difference in us being able to meet these goals.
