THE FUTURE OF FUNDING MENTAL HEALTH IS HERE.
Join Mindful Philanthropy as we push the boundaries of how philanthropic giving can address the most pressing mental health challenges of today. This two-day event will bring together funders in a community where they can forge meaningful connections and foster collaboration.
The event will highlight global experts from diverse perspectives, showcase highly effective and innovative programs that have the potential to drive transformational change, and profile bright spots from philanthropy across giving areas.
Together, we'll ignite action through discussions on bold investment partnerships and strategies to increase investment toward mental health and wellbeing, deepen our understanding of mental health trends and solutions, share insights, and explore synergies that can amplify our individual and collective impact. By fostering a sense of community, we can harness the collective resources needed to create positive change.
