Our Impact
Since launching in 2020, the Rare Impact Fund has made incredible strides to expand access to mental health resources and education for young people, raising $6M in contributions and distributing over $3M in grant support to organizations worldwide.
According to data from CANDID developed by the Center for High Impact Philanthropy, mental health accounted for 1.3% of overall foundation investments from 2015 to 2018, and, even more strikingly, only 5% of foundation spending on healthcare.
The Rare Impact Fund is committed to shifting philanthropic trends by investing in partnerships focused on expanding access to mental health services and resources in educational settings. Through sourced partnerships and holistic engagement, we continue to bet on organizations that work toward destigmatizing mental health.

What Selena Gomez has done in founding the Rare Impact Fund is so incredibly powerful, important and timely.
