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.

About
Musicopia will deepen its long-term music and dance education work in North Philly, driven by its mission “to provide equitable access to music education and enrichment, encouraging self-confidence, global awareness, dedication, and joy in Pre-K to 12th grade students and their communities.” With this grant, Musicopia, in partnership with affiliate Dancing Classrooms Philly, will provide additional intergenerational programming in the neighborhoods of long-time school partners, meeting with community members to design and implement programs that are specific to the needs of each individual neighborhood and school community. Proven over its 50-year history, Musicopia’s programs provide social-emotional tools for participants to expand their world view, identify and work collaboratively with peers, and envision powerful futures for themselves, preventing substance abuse, providing avenues for healing through creative expression, and creating leaders. Additional programming in North Philly could include: the Lullaby Project developed by Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute for preschoolers and their primary caregivers, afterschool Drumlines for middle and high students, and a range of in-school and intergenerational community programs: Afro-Brazilian Music, Dance, and Martial Arts, Ballroom dance for fifth and eighth graders, Bollywood Dancing, Bucket Drumming, Hip-hop Dance, Journey into Middle Eastern Music, Latin Dance, Recycled Sounds, West African Drum and Dance, and more.
