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.

The Community Fund for Immigrant Wellness is pleased to announce that it will invest $358,000 in 13 organizations that promote mental health and emotional wellbeing among immigrant communities in Greater Philadelphia.

In addition to grant dollars, grantees also received stipends to participate in a Community of Practice, where they will have the opportunity to build relationships, share their work, and learn from one another.
The grantees were selected through a participatory grantmaking process, designed to alter traditional philanthropic giving by elevating voices of individuals who are not typically at the decision-making table. A community-based Granting Group reviewed the applications and allocated grant dollars from a pooled fund. Granting Group members were nominated by the Advisory Board, whose member organizations include ACANA, AFAHO, HIAS PA, La Puerta Abierta, Nationalities Service Center, Puentes de Salud, SEAMAAC, and The Welcoming Center.
The Community Fund for Immigrant Wellness is supported by a group of funders who have shown their commitment to community participation and the emotional health of immigrants and refugees by investing in this approach.
The Community Fund for Immigrant Wellness is supported by the City of Philadelphia Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual disAbility Services, Douty Foundation, Scattergood Foundation, Patricia Kind Family Foundation, and the Paul D. Schurgot Foundation. The Community Fund for Immigrant Wellness is facilitated and administered by the Scattergood Foundation.
