Approach
Leading Philanthropy
We are strengthening and aligning the field of mental health philanthropy.
Our Mindful Approach
Mindful Philanthropy acts as a field builder and catalyst for mental health philanthropy. This is not only about increased funding but about developing resources and activating investment in human flourishing.
We are building a field, a community of funders, dedicated to mental health philanthropy.

Convene
We Convene philanthropy for accelerated learning and increased collaboration.
With events ranging from highly curated, movement-building summits, to webinars and special in-person funder convenings with mental health experts, we are catalyzing the sector with actionable connections.
We bring individual and institutional funders and diverse stakeholders together to learn from one another, break down silos, collaborate to mobilize resources and align efforts, and ultimately to catalyze mental health funding together.
Guide
We Guide the sector with foundational research and resources for mental health philanthropy.
We have produced 20 distinct guidance reports as of 2025.
Our seminal series, Mental Health at the Center (MHAC), includes four foundational pieces guiding philanthropy:
The Case for Philanthropic Investment
A Roadmap for Strategic Investment
U.S. Funding Landscape
Measuring Success in Mental Health Philanthropy
Uplift
We Uplift funder stories and emerging and innovative solutions in mental health.
We evaluate and elevate a diverse array of solutions for funders, including: public-private partnerships, demonstration projects, challenges, nonprofit, and advocacy and policy programs. We elevate funder success and lessons in order to build learning and long-term success in the field.
Our Work with Nonprofits
We are developing a portfolio of nonprofits that reflects the ecosystem of solutions to advance the sector. Nonprofits are vetted based on quality of programming, potential for impact, and financial and governance due diligence. Organizations are uplifted to funders through our Mindful Connect community, webinars, and written guidances.
