The mission focuses on improving the well-being of children and youth by offering grants to nonprofits for developing programs and resources that enhance emotional health supports for children of all ages. The aim is to address issues like stress, anxiety, depression, and loneliness through targeted programming.
The grant program aims to support youth development nonprofits within a specific catchment area. It seeks to fund the development of new or expanded programs that provide emotional health supports to children, parents/guardians, caregivers, teachers, and others working directly with youth. The funded programs may include a variety of strategies such as one-on-one supports, support groups, education, outreach and messaging to tackle emotional wellbeing issues including stress, anxiety, depression, fear, loneliness, and grief.
