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.

Integrated Approaches to Improving Black immigrants' Access to Health Services
Community Fund for Wellness
Africom will expand their collaborative partnerships to deliver community wellness programming.
About
Following the lifting of Covid-19 in-person gathering restrictions, Africom’s project seeks to resume in-person community health and family wellness activities for African and Caribbean immigrant communities. Africom will partner with three grassroots organizations, the Caribbean Communities, the Association of Liberian Women, and the Kenyan community association in Delaware county.
To meet the Community Fund for Immigrant Wellness’ goals, Africom will use the grant funding to cover the health and community wellness program staff’s level of efforts and benefits, cover the cost of staff and community leaders’ trainings, cover the costs of activities, including supplies and materials, flyers, venue rentals, social media outreach fees; offer transportation assistance to clients, and cover indirect costs to meet participants’ needs. Through the funding and the proposed project, Africom will increase its internal capacities to conduct community participatory needs assessments and then design and implement strategies to address the identified needs. Africom will also increase its staff’s capacity to provide case management and build a reliable referral system to connect participants to services and mitigate the multiple dimensions and impact of immigration-related trauma.
