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.

Recreation Over Violence and Substance Abuse
Overdose Prevention and Community Healing Fund
Our hope is to build community interactions between people living close to another in order to prevent violent interactions and decrease incidents of substance abuse.
About
The funding granted will build upon an existing program. Our primary focus area for the grant is Substance Use Prevention which will provide summer and out of school time (OST) opportunities for children and youth at risk of using drugs. Additionally, we seek to provide Community and Family Healing through building social connection and resilience in our violence and opioid impacted community. Our primary goal is to engage and support high-risk children and youth through recreational and educational programming, as a way to provide mentoring and positive youth development, and to teach violence and substance abuse prevention and prosocial skills. We are aware that social connections are a critical element in the positive social development of individuals. As such, a secondary goal is to develop opportunities for families to create and develop positive social connections, build community and find healing from community violence and substance abuse. Our neighborhood has been systematically broken down over the course of many years. Our hope is to build community interactions between people living close to another in order to prevent violent interactions and decrease incidents of substance abuse.This funding will go an extremely long way in bringing our current programs such as STEM, Summer Camp, and various sports programs to a higher quality level, thus increasing the quality of life of our youth.
