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.

Despite the very best efforts of so many over many years, Philadelphia remains the poorest big city in America. There’s one program that could bring millions into distressed neighborhoods, for free, but none of us are taking advantage of it: Pardons.
Pennsylvania may have the most progressive pardon system in the country. The Economy League has called pardons a “no-cost community development and neighborhood investment policy”. Their April 2020 study showed $16.5 million flowing across Pennsylvania, most going to low- and moderate-income neighborhoods.
With tens of thousands of potential recipients, Philadelphia saw fewer than 50 apply last year. Join us on Monday, May 17th at 9am for a conversation with people who have helped to revolutionize the system and from those who have used it. Plan to brainstorm and leave with ideas for how to take advantage of what is an amazing opportunity.
Speakers:
- Larry Krasner, Philadelphia District Attorney
- Jeff Brown, President & CEO of Brown’s Super Stores, Inc.
- Evan Figueroa-Vargas, Employment Systems Program Analyst for the City of Philadelphia’s Department of Behavioral Health & Intellectual disAbility Services
- Carl (Tobey) Oxholm III, Executive Director Philadelphia Lawyers for Social Equity
- Rev. Michelle Simmons, Founder & CEO of Why Not Prosper
