OUR MISSION
We are a community of funders collaborating to resource and empower community-led organisations that nurture connection, dignity and collective care. We honour the many different ways through which communities support mental health and wellbeing, and we invest in what communities know to work for them.
OUR VISION
We want to help create a world in which community-led organisations are empowered, connected and resourced to uplift themselves and others as they promote and protect stronger mental health and wellbeing in their communities. Their work is visible, valued and connected with national, regional and global systems for greater collective impact.
Our approach
WE HELP FUNDERS & MAKE IT EASIER TO COLLABORATE
Supporting community-led organisations can be a highly effective way to deliver trusted and tailored mental health support, but it can also be tricky to fund if you don’t have the time or network to know who is doing impactful work. As a funders’ collaborative, we share our experience and our networks, learning from community-led organisations.
WE BACK COMMUNITY-LED ORGANIZATIONS
We work with local organisations that care for the mental health of their communities. We provide funding and non-financial support. Where possible, we co-create models that can empower organisations to benefit sustainably from the ideas and talent of those in their communities. See our latest funding and collaboration opportunities here.
WE ADVOCATE FOR COMMUNITY-LED WORK
We champion the vital role of community-led organisations and of networks that help those organisations to connect and amplify each other’s work. We love to showcase the work of community-led organisations - the great ideas and the shared learnings. Click below for stories of success and impact from the front lines of mental health.
Who we are
We are a collaborative group of funders who are proud to support an extensive and global portfolio of community-led organisations whose work contributes to good mental health and well-being. We are supported by Kokoro, which acts as a secretariat to the group. If you’d like to join us, please do get in touch!
