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.
