Grantmaking
We fund organizations and projects which disrupt our current behavioral health space and create impact at the individual, organizational, and societal levels.
Innovation Award
Our annual $25,000 prize is awarded to a cutting-edge idea that holds the potential to catalyze progress in behavioral health.
Community Fund for Wellness
Our participatory grantmaking alters the traditional process of philanthropic giving by empowering service providers and community-based organizations to define the strategy around a specific issue area or population.
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 start of 2019 places us squarely in the 21st century – and at a time of tremendous political and social strife. So, how did we get here? Some have lamented the loss of empathy, which ultimately begs the question: was empathy a skill we ever mastered in the first place?
We at the Scattergood Foundation would argue no.
It’s time we make empathy a necessary skill for the 21st century workforce.
Check back this month for our weekly insights into how we build empathy.
