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

The Scattergood Foundation is currently focusing its grantmaking on behavioral health workforce and policy initiatives, as well as participatory grantmaking funds that elevate community voice and lived experience. Through this work, the Foundation seeks to strengthen systems, inform policy, and support approaches shaped by those most directly impacted. At this time, the Foundation’s grant application process for workforce and policy initiatives is by invitation only. Each participatory grantmaking fund operates with its own distinct goals and will have a separate grant application process.

We encourage you to stay connected with us through our newsletter.
