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.

Socks for the Streets
Overdose Prevention and Community Healing Fund
Socks For The Streets will use the Prevention Fund Grant to bring compassion, nourishment, and hope to the Kensington area.
About
Socks For The Streets will use the Prevention Fund Grant to bring compassion, nourishment, and hope to the Kensington area. With this grant, we will provide two or more lovingly prepared meals to individuals experiencing hunger and homelessness, ensuring that no one goes hungry. These home-cooked meals are made with care and affection, aiming to nourish not just the body but also the soul, fostering a sense of dignity and community.
Our dedicated outreach efforts in Kensington will go beyond providing meals. We will supply essential items such as clothing, hygiene products, and blankets to individuals who are struggling. By consistently showing up and offering these necessities, we aim to build trust and meaningful connections, with the hope that those we serve will feel encouraged to accept further help and support.
Additionally, the grant will help cover critical operational costs, including storage fees for our supplies, maintenance of our website to enhance our outreach and communication, nonprofit insurance to safeguard our activities, and gas expenses to ensure our team can reach those in need. Through these efforts, Socks For The Streets is committed to making a profound and compassionate impact on the lives of the most vulnerable in our community.
