David & Michele Hirsch
Founders, Hirsch Legacy Fund
The Hirsch Legacy Fund emerged from a personal journey of compassion and commitment. Driven by their own experience with a child facing complex mental health issues and a generational dedication to philanthropy inspired by Jewish values, Michele and David Hirsch envisioned a way to help families with direct care. The Hirsch Legacy Fund supports nonprofit organizations that serve communities in Atlanta, Georgia, the U.S., and Israel, to pursue projects focused on mental health, underserved communities, and Jewish causes.
WHY MENTAL HEALTH?
Over 20% of the population lives with a mental health or substance use disorder.
From academic achievement to economic mobility and overall equality, mental health and addiction play a central role in every major social issue.
Mindful Philanthropy envisions a world in which all funders are invested in solutions that integrate mental health and well-being so that all people have equitable access to the tools and resources they need to be well.
