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.

Operation Save Our City
Overdose Prevention and Community Healing Fund
The grant awarded by the Overdose Prevention and Community Healing Fund will help us provide overdose prevention and life saving activities through street outreach in Kensington.
About
The grant awarded by the Overdose Prevention and Community Healing Fund will help us provide overdose prevention and life saving activities through street outreach in Kensington. We distribute clothing, blankets, coats, snacks, wound care supplies, and Narcan supplies directly to people who need them. Roz Pichardo, our Founder and Director, has reversed more than 2100 overdoses on Kensington streets and will use this support to keep training others who can also respond to opioid crisis situations. Funds will help us maintain our warm, welcoming Sunshine House on Kensington Avenue, where we also host a wider variety of therapeutic activities including health workshops, volunteer training, and trauma informed counseling. This site houses our unique communications system to connect family members and loved ones with Sunshines (our name for the people we serve) when they are trying to track them down in the neighborhood’s shifting maze of pop-up tents and makeshift shelters. We are very grateful for this support which we hope will help us participate in the development and implementation of any Kensington initiatives launched by Philadelphia’s new mayoral cabinet. Our collaboration with municipal departments is focused on ensuring that any services created to relocate or rehabilitate people living on Kensington streets, truly meet the needs of unhoused people suffering from substance abuse disorder.
