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.

Opioid Awareness PSAs and Brunch with a Black Man
REACH PA
1Hood Media will raise awareness about drug use and overdose while providing a supportive and empowering mental wellness platform for Black men and mental health resources for Black people.
About
Brunch with a Black Man (BWABM), is a supportive and empowering mental wellness podcast focused on telling stories of Black men through transparent and candid conversations about the experiences of Black men, their mental health, and navigating challenging times. Black people are 20% more likely to suffer from severe psychological stress than their White counterparts. Even more daunting – Black men are four times more likely to commit suicide than their female counterparts. 1Hood Media launched the BWABM podcast in 2022 to provide a safe space to have conversations about mental health support including the impact of drugs on our community beyond the survival economy.
This project expands our programming through public service announcements (PSAs), outreach events, social media campaigns, partnerships with community organizations that have similar and supplemental programs, and connections with local Black businesses. We aim to raise awareness of safety precautions around drug use; prevent drug abuse, overdoses, and deaths resulting from drug use; provide a supportive and empowering mental wellness platform for Black men; and provide mental health resources for Black people.
We can make a real difference in the lives of people in our community through partnership. We can ensure Black people in Pittsburgh are served more holistically. This project leverages partnerships to expand reach, collaborate on a widespread solution and impact, and provide resources and services.
