Grantmaking

We fund organizations and projects which disrupt our current behavioral health space and create impact at the individual, organizational, and societal levels.

Approach All Grants

Overviewssss

We support organizations and programs that incorporate principles of diversity, equity and inclusion and trauma-informed practice. We believe it is critical for organizations and programs to make decisions using both community voice and data. It is our hope that grants we make bring about authentic partnership, collaboration, and systems change to improve emotional health and wellbeing for all.

The Foundation prioritizes supporting organizations that serve and are led by Black, Indigenous, and people of color. The Foundation does request information on the demographics of executive leadership, board members and staff.

FYE25 Grant Cycle

The Foundation will open a grant cycle for FYE25 grants in mid-late Fall of 2024.
