About
Our mission is to catalyze impactful funding in mental health, addiction, and well-being.
Our Story
Mindful Philanthropy was founded in 2020 by representatives from Peg’s Foundation, Well Being Trust, Scattergood Foundation, and The John Heller Fund to catalyze impactful funding in mental health, addiction, and well-being. At a time when mental health was left out of conversations around how philanthropy could improve the nation’s well-being, our founders had the foresight to elevate the need for high-impact mental health funding.
Today, we are leading philanthropy to transform the health of our communities with an approach that simplifies the complex and vast mental health landscape.
