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 recognized an opportunity to create a north star for the sector.
Grounded in the latest research and The Center for High Impact Philanthropy’s Health in Mind framework led by founding team member Kristen Ward, Mindful Philanthropy’s expertise helps funders apply rigorous analysis to inform real-world decision-making. Mindful Philanthropy engages funders in learning journeys, provides strategic guidance, and convenes funders around cutting-edge investments in well-being.
Today, we are leading the conversation around how philanthropy can transform the landscape of mental health, addiction, and well-being.
