With Her in Mind

Mental health is the leading cause of disability for women globally, and it affects outcomes in many other issues that funders care about. Yet, women and girls’ mental health remains overlooked and undervalued by philanthropy. Funders dedicated to supporting women and girls can amplify their impact by incorporating mental health into their giving strategies. Investing in this area can not only create individual benefits but also drive broader economic and societal change.

Culturally-Led Programs

Communities themselves are experts in their mental health needs and how to best address them. Culturally-led programs can support the mental health of communities of color by centering distinct needs, histories, and traditions to improve well-being. Funders have an important opportunity to uplift programs often overlooked and underfunded by philanthropy.
