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.

Women in Dialogue
Overdose Prevention and Community Healing Fund
This grant will support our collective self-help and advocacy groups of mothers, grandmothers, family caregivers and those facing the child welfare system; our Wellness program of mindfulness, healthy food, alternative healing, and community gardening; and more.
About
The impact of the opioid epidemic on mothers, grandmothers and older women is often hidden or overlooked. We are the largest consumers of prescription medications; the most over-prescribed to; the most at risk for drug interactions; the ones caring for children and grandchildren whose parents are incarcerated, misusing or deceased; caregivers suffering from depression, overwork, isolation, stress, and injury; the ones dealing with the child welfare and criminal justice systems as we try to hold families together and fight for legal representation and justice; and the ones picking up the pieces of a shattered community. And we do it all for no or low pay. The grant will support our collective self-help and advocacy groups of mothers, grandmothers, family caregivers and those facing the child welfare system; our Wellness program of mindfulness, healthy food, alternative healing, and community gardening; and our work at the Crossroads Women’s Center in Germantown which provides the infrastructure for people being able to come together to share, support, exchange, heal and advocate for change.
