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.

Immigrant Family Wellness Program
Community Fund for Wellness
SEAMAAC's program will celebrate community connections, resiliency, and empowerment within immigrant and refugee families.
About
SEAMAAC’s mission is to support and serve immigrants, refugees, and other marginalized communities, as they seek to advance the condition of their lives in the United States.
Funding from the Community Fund for Immigrant Wellness will support SEAMAAC’s Immigrant Family Wellness Program. The Immigrant Family Wellness Program celebrates community connections, resiliency, and empowerment within immigrant and refugee families. Based in South Philadelphia, the program works with immigrants and refugees from dozens of linguistic communities. In many low-income immigrant households, emotional wellness is tied to financial security, health, immigration status, and family safety. The Immigrant Family Wellness Program works to remove systemic barriers, decrease social isolation, and support collective healing. The program also embraces the rich assets within immigrant families and communities.
Program services:
- One-on-One Support: Trauma-informed case management provides immigrants with emotional support, basic needs, and resources.
- Wellness Workshops: Community education is culturally-tailored, covering topics such as family and community safety, healthy relationships, and health navigation.
- Wellness Groups: Our biweekly “Resiliency Groups” provide art therapy to immigrant survivors of domestic violence and other forms of trauma. Our weekly “Roots of Happiness: Elders Gathering” provides AAPI elders with cultural heritage meals, music, movement, socialization, and cultural holiday celebrations.
