Our Nonprofit Partners
The Rare Impact Fund
Has three strategic funding priority areas:
We support schools in their effort to adopt effective solutions, including new curriculums, counseling options, and technologies.
Support can come in many forms, so the Rare Impact Fund directs our efforts toward people in a position to provide it, from mental health professionals to trusted community members, like coaches, teachers, and family. We support programs targeting economically disadvantaged and underserved communities, which often face additional stressors and barriers to assistance. Those programs must be culturally responsive and, in a person’s, native language.
Gen Z youth of color often struggle to find a professional they trust, who understands their background or language and who provides culturally responsive services. Young people may also face barriers due to the cost of care or health insurance. Mental illness frequently goes untreated in communities of color due to higher levels of uninsurance, as reported by the Anxiety and Depression Association of America.
We're working to eliminate those barriers. The Rare Impact Fund supports organizations that directly aid young people at risk of suicide or a mental health crisis and provide them—and their networks—educational resources.
