Our Partners
The Rare Impact Fund provides financial resources to non-profit organizations providing mental health resources to young people in three priority areas: school-based solutions, networks of support, and suicide prevention and crisis support.
We proudly support a cohort of global partners reaching millions of young people around the world.
How We Do It
The Rare Impact Fund has 3 strategic funding priority areas:
School Based Solutions
Young people spend most of their time in educational settings. School is a place to learn, play, socialize, and for many, eat essential meals. Because educational settings play a prominent role in a child's life, educators are in a unique position to identify student mental health challenges early, intervene, and prevent further stigmatization.
