As a south asian, if you're not giving a minimum of $20/month to this organization, you aren't helping the future of your community to address and combat mental health in our community. $20 is a small price to pay to support these young people to make a difference. 

Zendo is a critical part of the care ecosystem, and I want to see it grow and share its knowledge and techniques with other care providers/ crisis responders! Thank you for all y'all do. 

across the ocean... there are families that are displaced and suffering.  Where we are safe and have our home intact.... we can give support sometimes only monetarily.  Prayers help... as well...♥️

The meditative tools I have learned from Mind Oasis has helped me navigate through some extremely challenging times! The benefits I’ve received from meditation and the Mind Oasis community are priceless! 

Zendo's expanded mission will help fill a critical education gap.  We're happy to support this important effort!

The groundbreaking work of DTHF is making the world better everyday. We are so grateful - the Aquino and Hall Families in Alaska, USA

So grateful this program exists to help people find meaningful recovery! ❤️

I want to give back for creating a whole new space and filling it with love

Sometime I feel paralyzed around what I SHOULD do to support those around the world. Founders Pledge champions evidence-led organizations who are making exponential impact. Giving to this fund has given me a sense of pride in knowing my contributions are making a difference. 

We aim to advance the mental wellbeing of our South Asian community.

In 2021, during their freshman year of college, our founders Ravi Parekh and Aaron Pandian suffered the loss of their close friend and roommate, Farhan, in a tragic murder-suicide where he took the lives of himself and his family. 

Farhan was struggling with a variety of inadequately treated mental illnesses. However, like so many members of the South Asian-American community, his parents simply lacked the tools, resources, and education necessary for providing him the care he needed.

They recognized that, as an immigrant South Asian family, they lacked the tools, resources, and education necessary for providing Farhan the care he needed. The tragedy of Farhan and his family revealed that there are many mental health issues unique to the cultural characteristics of South Asians. Understanding that these environmental factors and structural barriers to effective care created the situation which led to this tragedy, we theorized a youth-led grass-roots advocacy and education initiative that equips South Asian youth and other interested parties with access to tools and resources to understand, process, and empower.

Grass-roots efforts are often inspired by lived experiences. Our passion and drive to bridge the gaps in mental health care for South Asian individuals stem from our lived experiences.

Knowledge is empowering, and part of understanding mental health is to both learn and express empathy for those affected who are unable to receive effective care. To learn not to fear mental illness as a sibling, parent, friend, significant other, or affected individual and employ newly acquired tools that work to connect with the resources they need. 

MHISA embodies these ideals and provides us an outlet to engage those around us with a shared goal: to enable South Asians struggling with mental illness to lead better and healthful lives.

Creating communities of compassionate care to transform difficult emotional experiences into opportunities for learning & growth.

Challenging or intense emotional experiences can be moments of profound insight, healing, and transformation. But they can also be disorienting, isolating, and overwhelming. In these moments, having access to compassionate support and culturally attuned care can make all the difference.

Zendo Project offers peer-based emotional support at events and provides educational resources to individuals, communities, and organizations. Our aim is to help people navigate complexity with greater resilience, care, and self-awareness. Through grounding, presence, and connection, we reduce potential harms and create space for learning, repair, and deeper relationships with self and others.

Supporters like you are essential to making this work possible. In a world where distress is often met with fear or force, our mission is to ensure that people in vulnerable states are met with compassion instead. Your contribution helps us continue to offer trauma-informed, non-judgmental care, and to create environments where all people can feel supported, seen, and safe—especially in moments when they need it most.

Founded in 2022 by Nicole Laurent, LMHC, we provide access to ketogenic therapies for individuals with serious mental illness.

**Founded in 2022** by licensed mental health counselor **Nicole Laurent**, [Brain Fog Recovery Source](https://mentalhealthketo.com/brain-fog-recovery-source-501c3/) began quietly providing *low-cost or free* ketogenic metabolic therapy to individuals struggling with serious psychiatric disorders. After witnessing remarkable psychiatric recoveries and a growing demand from individuals unable to access or benefit from traditional treatment methods, the organization expanded its mission and reach.

[Making Ketogenic Therapy Accessible for Psychiatric Recovery – A Nonprofit Story](https://mentalhealthketo.com/2025/04/30/making-ketogenic-therapy-accessible-for-psychiatric-recovery-a-nonprofit-story/ )

We target opportunities where small investments can generate extraordinary impact and create lasting change.

There are many charities that address global poverty and suffering. 

With our Global Health & Development (GHD) **Catalytic Impact Fund**, we try to find the strategic pressure points where modest funding unlocks transformational change. 

By prioritizing these leverage points, we help donors maximize their impact in building sustainable, long-term solutions to global poverty and suffering — saving and improving as many lives as possible with each dollar.

What does catalytic impact look like?

- **We trigger systemic improvements**: We support investments that create new long-term infrastructure or increase the cost-effectiveness of existing systems.
- **We remove key bottlenecks**: We identify and remove barriers that stand in the way of accelerated impact.
- **We crowd in capital**: We provide early-stage funding that attracts substantial follow-on investment for cost-effective opportunities.

### Our Approach to Grantmaking

When evaluating potential grants, we consider several key points:

- **Counterfactual impact**. Our grants are designed to create meaningful outcomes that would not otherwise have happened. This means that you can rely on the Funds to create meaningful, real change, rather than just maintaining the status quo.
- **Impact-driven philanthropy**. This fund prioritizes the highest-impact solutions to challenges. We assess where the gaps are, which opportunities may be neglected by other funders, and where the biggest wins are in terms of making the biggest difference.
-  **The organization’s funding gap**. Not all organizations are set up to scale programs and some may not be able to productively absorb large amounts of unsolicited funding at any given point. We evaluate all potential grantees’ capacity for growth and consider how much money they could put to good use.
-  **Organizational strength**. Particularly with unrestricted funding, it’s important to have trust in the leadership and capacity of the organizations we support. We look at their track record of success and their transparency about failures as well as successes, and we only support those organizations which are exceptionally well run.
- **Time-critical opportunities and funding certainty**. Sometimes there are time-critical opportunities which require fast decisions. We will use the Fund to make grants that enable such short-term opportunities and stability for high-impact funding opportunities thereby increasing the impact compared to individual giving to specific organizations.

### Frequently-Asked Questions

**Can charities apply for money from the Fund?**

Founders Pledge reviews [requests for funding](https://www.founderspledge.com/requests-for-funding) from organizations, but does not guarantee we can fill funding requests.

**How frequently will you make grants from the Fund?**

In general, Fund Managers will review grantmaking decisions on a quarterly basis, based on the value of Funds and the available options for high-impact grantmaking. We may disburse funds outside of quarterly review dates if we become aware of a particularly promising and time-sensitive funding.

**How will my contribution be used?**

All funds are granted out — every dollar contributed to the Fund will be used to make grants directly to end-user organizations creating a real difference.

We are dedicated to end the stigma & discrimination surrounding mental illness and provide direct impact for those in need of care

To date, mental health has had many courageous and powerful ADVOCATES, but there has been limited commitment and funding for sustained ACTION, implementation, and scaling up of quality and ACCESSIBLE services. Actress Mädchen Amick (*Twin Peaks, Riverdale*) and her family founded **Don't MIND Me** with the focus on reaching back to help others through the complexities of finding proper treatment, after they themselves struggled to find resources for their loved-one.

Your donation will help us to deliver on our commitment to design an ACCESSIBLE FUTURE for mental healthcare. With your contribution, we can provide actionable pathways towards recovery within [our initiatives](https://www.dontmindme.org/our-work);  Our ADVOCACY pillar ‘What’s On Your Mind’ provides safe spaces for honest conversations in order to normalize and destigmatize mental health challenges. Our ACTION program ‘One Call Away’ is a free concierge service that connects those in need to mental health support. Our ACCESS program ‘Save Me A Spot’ provides scholarships for specialized treatment to those suffering with severe mental illness and insufficient payment options. Our direct impact funding offers access to critical care for long term treatment and recovery programs.

Funding & trauma-informed therapy and healing resources for adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse (CSA).

**The Let Go… Let Peace Come In Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to helping adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) access the healing, trauma-informed therapy, and long-term support many were denied as children.**

Childhood sexual abuse is a global public-health crisis. Millions of adults in the U.S. alone—and hundreds of millions worldwide—are survivors. Many carry the weight of their trauma silently for decades, struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, isolation, relationship challenges, addiction, shame, dissociation, and suicidal thoughts. Most have never received the professional support they deserve.

Our mission is simple but urgent:
**Help survivors finally let go of the past and let peace into their lives.**

**Why Our Work Matters**

Most resources focus on prevention and early childhood intervention, but **adult survivors remain one of the most underserved populations in mental health care**. Many live with untreated trauma well into adulthood, affecting families, workplaces, and communities.

Your donation directly supports:

- **Trauma-informed therapy** for adult survivors
- **Recovery and support programs** led by trained clinicians
- **Awareness initiatives** that break the silence and reduce stigma
- **Global outreach** providing resources to survivors in over 160 countries
- **Groundbreaking research** with the **Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health** to better understand long-term trauma and develop more effective healing models

Every contribution helps survivors reclaim their lives.

**A Mission Rooted in Lived Experience**

The Foundation was created by **Peter S. Pelullo**, a business leader, music-industry entrepreneur, and survivor of childhood sexual abuse. Peter’s memoir, *Betrayal and the Beast*, and his national media appearances have helped thousands begin their own healing journeys.

Peter has been interviewed across major news networks—including **ABC, CNN, HLN, CBS**, and others—bringing the realities of survivor trauma into public awareness. His efforts played a role in national conversations surrounding high-profile abuse cases, encouraging more survivors to come forward and seek support.

**Awareness Through Media & Partnerships**

We believe healing requires visibility, empathy, and community. To raise awareness, the Foundation collaborates with advocates, clinicians, and public figures. In partnership with Universal Republic Records, **Mark McGrath of Sugar Ray** recorded a tribute song supporting survivors and encouraging them to step out of silence.

These media initiatives help survivors feel seen, understood, and less alone—often for the first time.

**Global Reach & Lasting Impact**

The Foundation’s digital presence has reached survivors in:

- **All 50 U.S. states**
- **Over 160 countries**
- **More than 40 languages**

We hear from survivors, partners, children of survivors, and families across the world. Many share their stories through our “Survivors Share” program—anonymously or openly—to help others find strength and hope.

**How Your Donation Makes a Difference**

Your gift enables:

- **Free or subsidized therapy sessions**
- **Survivor outreach and care coordination**
- **Educational materials for families & communities**
- **Development of trauma-recovery programs**
- **Funding for research with Johns Hopkins**
- **Production of awareness campaigns**
- **Global survivor-support resources**

Even small contributions fund life-changing support for adults who have suffered in silence for decades.

**You can help someone finally begin to heal.**
**Thank you for standing with survivors.**

A Story About Our "*Why"*

In January 2023, 14-month-old Virgil VanKleek was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive childhood cancer. While Virgil is now cancer-free, the toll on his family was overwhelming—physically, emotionally, and financially. Thanks to the generosity of donors like you, the Jose Wejebe Memorial Foundation was able to give the VanKleek family eight days in the Florida Keys filled with joy, adventure, and healing. From fishing and snorkeling to exploring coral farms, encountering marine life, and fulfilling his mother, Amanda’s, lifelong dream of swimming with dolphins, the family experienced hope and happiness they never thought possible.

Amanda shared, “It was more than a trip. It was healing. It was unrivaled happiness. It was hope.” Your support makes moments like this possible. Every donation helps us bring comfort, joy, and renewal to families facing unimaginable challenges. Together, we can continue turning pain into possibility and give families the gift of healing memories.

Another "*Why"* Story

Four boys in long-term foster care recently spent a week in the Florida Keys thanks to the Jose Wejebe Memorial Foundation and Misty Wells’ A Reel Future. For children who have endured trauma, instability, and loss, the trip was more than just fishing, dolphin swims, and exploring coral reefs—it was a chance to laugh, feel safe, and create memories of joy. From cooking their own catch to learning about conservation, the boys experienced what it means to be cared for and supported, often for the first time.

Their counselor said the experience was “truly unforgettable,” and one of the boys shared, “This breath of fresh air finally brought peace to such a whirlwind of a world we live in… it showed me the sun is always shining, and that there are people that do care about us foster kids.” That is the power of your generosity. Your monthly support makes these life-changing moments possible—proving to kids who feel forgotten that they are seen, valued, and never alone. 💙 Become a Monthly Donor—Because everyone deserves hope.

Closegap is a 501(c)(3) non-profit technology company on a mission to improve the emotional and mental health of K-12 students.

Closegap is a nonprofit tech startup that’s created a free daily mental health check-in for K-12 students. Each day, students complete a developmentally appropriate and interactive check-in, which asks a series of questions about their emotions, energy level, physical needs and more. Students then have the option to request to speak with a trusted adult or choose from a library of self-guided, social-emotional learning activities on the digital platform. School staff receive alerts, a daily triaged list of their students, and data visualizations to spot trends over time. Founded on the idea that every kid needs at least one trusted adult and self-regulation skills to navigate tough circumstances, we’re working to transform the way kids are cared for and supported within schools. 

THE PROBLEM 
Closegap is addressing the youth mental health crisis, and schools’ inability to meet student mental and emotional health needs. Youth anxiety, depression and suicide have been on the rise for the past decade. In 2019, one in three high school students reported persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness, an increase of 40% from 2009. The pandemic exacerbated the crisis. In 2020, there was a 30% increase in emergency room visits for mental health reasons for youth ages 12-17. Today, suicide is the second leading cause of death among 15-24 year olds. 

Schools are on the frontlines of this crisis, and represent an enormous opportunity to strengthen our mental health safety net—most students (and BIPOC students, disproportionately) receive mental health services at schools. Yet, schools are often understaffed and under-resourced. When something is wrong, we don’t have mechanisms in place to catch it. Nationally, there are over 415 students for every 1 school counselor, almost double the recommended ratio. School staff are largely unequipped to monitor the needs of all their students or intervene in real time; it’s unrealistic that they can check-in with each student, and implicit bias can cloud judgment. Additionally, not all students feel comfortable asking for help. For this reason, many students slip through the cracks. Schools desperately need a way to gauge the mental health needs of their students both in real-time (for immediate individual support) and over time (for systemic support) to adequately address the youth mental health crisis. 

THE SOLUTION 
Closegap equips schools with the technology and data to more effectively support the mental health of K-12 students. 

The check-in is developmentally appropriate and backed by research from mental health experts and leading institutions, enabling schools to ask the right questions early and often. It first asks students about their feelings, needs, and challenges. Then the more foundational questions. Are they eating enough? Sleeping well? Is everything okay in their peer group? At the end, students are given the opportunity to privately ask for help from an adult or choose from a library of self-guided, evidence-based social-emotional learning activities, such as box breathing, shaking out parts of their body and making a gratitude list. Students learn to label, understand and regulate their emotions, and are provided with a new, direct line to school staff to express their emotional needs; this is particularly important for students who may not feel comfortable walking to the counselor’s office.

Check-in data enables school staff to monitor and intervene on student needs in real time and at scale; they receive alerts, a daily triaged list of students, and data visualizations to spot trends over time.  Schools move from a disjointed, reactive approach when serious crises occur to a proactive approach to care. 


IMPACT
Schools using Closegap have prevented suicides and uncovered cases of self-harm, sexual assault, bullying and trouble at home that would have otherwise gone unnoticed. The check-in leverages technology to bolster the current support system in schools—meeting kids right where they are, fostering more genuine connection between school staff and students, and increasing empathy and understanding. We’ve served over 200,000 students across all 50 states, with over 5.8 million check-ins completed to date.

“I open up my dashboard and see 14 kids marked as urgent. That’s 14 kids that I wouldn’t have known needed me. Closegap brought those kids to my office.”
— Melena, School Counselor

“Some kids fly under the radar, but with Closegap they have an opportunity to say something that they’re not saying to anyone else.”
— Katie, School Counselor

“When I submit my Closegap for the day, it makes me feel that someone is actually listening to me, or cares about how I might feel that day.”
— Jaylynn, student

Championing Africa's Climate Entrepreneurs

Africa contributes about 4% of global emissions, [and just 1.6% ](https://energyforgrowth.org/article/sub-saharan-africa-emits-a-tiny-fraction-of-the-worlds-co2/)when South Africa is excluded, yet its people face some of the harshest climate impacts. Still, across the continent, communities hold deep ecological knowledge, powerful ingenuity, and proven solutions. What holds them back is not ideas but unequal access to visibility, resources, and decision-making power.

AfroClimate exists to change that.

We seek to amplify and directly invest in Africa’s visionary climate innovators; including community-based organizations, youth groups, and climate-tech entrepreneurs who are restoring ecosystems, strengthening livelihoods, and building resilience from the ground up.

In our approach, we start with communities. We co-create solutions with partners who already understand their land, their people, and the climate challenges they face. We have six pillars to support grassroots innovations to become scalable models of climate resilience and climate justice: capacity building, funding access, impact measurement, market linkages, visibility & storytelling, and specialist mentorship.

With our footprint across 10 African countries, and a network of partners such as PowerStove in Nigeria, Mena Tsook in Madagascar, and Green World Campaign in Kenya, we have achieved remarkable progress in just one year: improving over 50,000 lives, preserving thousands of trees, installing 100 beehives, raising over $700,000 in investment, and advancing clean energy, conservation, and sustainable livelihood solutions across the continent. 

When you give to AfroClimate, you are fueling leadership that is restoring ecosystems in Africa and championing a climate-resilient future led by those closest to the solutions.

Join us in scaling community-driven climate action across the continent.

Partnering with medical centers to fund training and research, enhancing care for children with epilepsy since 2006.

The Care & Cure Institute seeks to remove the financial obstacle of the final step of training for doctors who want to advance their careers in treating pediatric epilepsy.

By partnering with hospitals and academic centers throughout the United States, The Institute plans to fund the training of at least 100 fellows by 2030. The ultimate goal is to fund a pediatric epileptologist and establish a Pediatric Unit in each Level 4 hospital throughout the nation.

By funding pediatric epileptoligst training, there will be an immediate return as doctors are placed into service during and immediately following their training and can begin to care for kids quickly. Further, by using a Master Endowment, Fellows will be financed in perpetuity. The Care & Cure Institute believes that this endowment will be the fastest and most cost effective way not only to improve treatment access for children, but also to cure pediatric epilepsy entirely.

We captivate hearts since 1983, making classical music accessible to all.

**Support the Medellín Philharmonic Orchestra**

In Medellín, there’s an orchestra that doesn’t just perform music—it reinvents it. The Orquesta Filarmónica de Medellín brings symphonic music to unexpected places, creates powerful collaborations, and transforms lives through every note.

What makes us truly unique is our approach. We are the first orchestra in Latin America to build a business model that is sustainable and future-focused. Our work isn’t just about ticket sales and donations—we create innovative programs that generate revenue, empower our community, and ensure long-term impact. We’re setting the example for other cultural organizations, showing that sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a reality we’re creating.

We’ve performed at psychiatric hospitals and conflict zones. We’ve created a choir for people affected by the armed conflict. We’ve built a mental health program for executives and designed learning experiences that help companies solve real-world challenges—through music.

We’ve played alongside legends, premiered daring new works, and turned shopping malls and rural parks into concert halls. We’ve taken the stage at international festivals, and we’ve stood by our community in its hardest moments.

Supporting Filarmed isn’t an act of charity. It’s an act of belief. It’s joining a movement that uses music to build community, awaken imagination, and spark change.

Every donation fuels concerts that surprise, programs that heal, and ideas that grow. If you’ve ever felt goosebumps in a performance, if you’ve ever thought “more people need to experience this,” if you’ve ever wondered how to be part of something that matters—this is your moment. 

Give today. Be part of the story.

At Kids’ Club, we are all volunteers; we have no paid staff.  We all live or work in the community or surrounding areas. **Administrative costs are covered through the generosity of our Board members, enabling 100% of every dollar you donate to Kids’ Club to help the children and families we serve.**

We plant the seeds of freedom by cultivating students' creativity and harvesting mutual empathy for a peaceful, prosperous future.

[**Rai·son d'ê·tre**](https://icaf.org/about/why-icaf)

A 501(c)(3) nonprofit with EIN 52-2032649, ICAF has served American children since 1997 as their national arts organization. ICAF seeds their imagination, cultivates creativity, and grows mutual empathy among them (for “a more perfect union”) and with their peers worldwide (for a peaceful future).

Creativity is now more crucial than ever before as a career skill, while empathy is considered humanity's survival skill. 

What young people contribute or create in their lives depends on their self-identity. The development of a holistic student identity underlies ICAF’s theory of change.

Through its free school art program, ICAF promotes the Artist-Athlete Ideal, which embodies a creative mind and a healthy body (*mente sana in corpore sano*). This holistic identity awakens a student's dormant “inner artist” or the slumbering “inner athlete,” helping mitigate obesity risks and creativity slumps.

At its World Children's Festival, ICAF's methodology infuses creativity with empathy, motivating students to become "creative empaths" who can work together to shape a brighter future.

[**Research & Publications**](https://icaf.org/resources/publications)
ICAF’s seminal research has been published in several leading journals, including [The Lancet](https://www.thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/lancet/PIIS0140673606699157.pdf) and [Dynamische Psychiatrie](https://icaf.org/resource/pdfs/CreativeEmpaths.pdf). Since 1998, ICAF has published the ad-free quarterly, the ChildArt magazine. Please preview the [AI & Art ](https://www.icaf.org/AI&Art/)magazine and the [Human Security ](https://icaf.org/resource/flipbooks/HumanSecurity/)magazine.

[**The Arts Olympiad**](https://icaf.org/mission/arts-olympiad.)
ICAF’s Arts Olympiad has evolved over the years into the world’s largest school art program. Its structured lesson plans culminate in art contests on the theme "My Favorite Sport." ICAF selects the most exceptional artworks and invites the young Artists-Athletes as delegates to the World Children’s Festival. The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee has granted ICAF an exclusive license to utilize the "Arts Olympiad" mark.

The 7th Arts Olympiad, currently taking place in the United States and nearly fifty countries, is projected to benefit more than half a million students worldwide. For more information about the program in select countries, please click [here](https://icaf.org/resource/pdfs/Arts-Olympiad-Stories-Texas.pdf).

[**World Children’s Festival**](https://WorldChildrensFestival.org)
The World Children’s Festival (WCF) offers a transformative experience, infusing creativity with empathy to give them hope. While learning is a biological process that creates new neural connections, developing empathy necessitates unlearning ingrained biases and prejudices to activate the “mirror neurons” that underpin empathetic responses. As empathy flourishes, divisions diminish, polarization lessens, consensus emerges, nations come together, and the world becomes more peaceful. The educational programming for this three-day public celebration of children's talents is rooted in STEAMS education, an innovative approach developed by ICAF that integrates Arts and Sports into the STEM disciplines. For an overview of the WCF, please click [here](https://www.icaf.org/resource/flipbooks/Creativity,DiversityandUnity/).

The 7th World Children’s Festival, held at the National Mall from June 30 to July 2, 2026, will also serve as the children's celebration of America's 250th birthday. 

**Other Art Programs**
ICAF occasionally organizes [Peace through Art Programs](https://icaf.org/mission/peace-through-art) to restore the trust in humanity of children in conflict zones and [Healing Art Programs](https://icaf.org/mission/healing-arts-program) to revive faith in nature of child victims of natural disasters. ICAF also pays attention to [climate change](https://icaf.org/mission/climate-change) because of its impact on children’s lives.

**Sport Art Exhibitions**
As the largest children’s art organization, ICAF curates exhibitions worldwide to bring its unprecedented collection to significant venues and museums. ICAF exhibitions embolden children and kindle the inner child in professionals. Please watch this [3:22-minute clip](https://youtu.be/0Cv7qHQM7fM?si=XFAHo8MZDs2Sj7e_).

**Art & Sports Online Contests**
To engage children worldwide in the LA28 Olympics, ICAF has launched an online art contest for students aged 8 to 20. This inclusive platform allows participants to create artwork about their favorite sport, share it with family and friends, and receive votes from any sports fan or art lover, contributing to the selection of the winners. https://MyFavoriteSport.org. 

[**Partnerships**](https://icaf.org/about/partnership)
ICAF has worked with the United Nations, the National Institutes of Health, the International Society for Education through Art, the World Bank, and the World Health Organization. 

ICAF’s sponsors have included corporations and grant makers such as the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, the National Endowment for the Arts, and several private philanthropies.

Kosmicare works to inspire change in drug policies and promote the empowerment of people that use drugs and their communities.

Kosmicare is a Portuguese non-profit organization dedicated to harm reduction services that prioritize the health, safety, and well-being of people who use drugs and their communities.

We:
(o) offer evidence-based services tailored to promote health, safety, and inclusivity for people who use drugs
(o) create safer, educational spaces within nightlife environments to promote informed decision-making and support
(o) conduct pivotal research on drug use to advocate for evidence-based practices and policies
(o) evaluate interventions and advocate for the rights of people who use drugs and their communities.

We're focused on addressing gender-specific needs and the intersectionality of drug use and racial inequality, ensuring our interventions are inclusive and rooted in social justice.

Additionally, we aim to influence policy-makers and economic agents involved in drug regulation, nightlife, and urban policy-making toward a socially responsible approach.

We emphasize a non-moralistic approach, fostering open discussions about drug experiences while promoting risk reduction practices and safeguarding mental health.

We’ve been on the ground since 2006, offering psycare and integration at Boom Festival, where we also provide drug-checking services, harm reduction materials and information. In 2019, we established a drop-in center in Lisbon, offering free drug checking, psychological support and harm reduction sessions.

Kosmicare operates a charitable project fiscally sponsored by Zendo Project, Inc., a Section 501(c)(3) public charity (federal tax ID: 88-3852704). In accordance with federal tax requirements, Zendo Project, Inc. exercises discretion and control over all project funds.

RCI works to create a world where every caregiver is seen, heard, and supported.

The Rosalynn Carter Institute For Caregivers drives transformative systems change to improve the strength, health, and resilience of family caregivers. People of all identities provide care to their family members, **but the experience falls disproportionately on women and girls**, with serious effects on their mental, physical, and economic health.

- 3 out of 5 caregivers in the US are women, and a significant number are women over 50.
- Caregiving disproportionately impacts women’s health. Female caregivers report higher levels of stress at every age, and also report that their health is negatively impacted. 
- More than half of all women caregivers in the US feel they did not have a choice in taking on their role.

RCI advances collaborative solutions rooted in evidence, driven by caregivers, and focused on achieving sustained impact. Together, we can work to change this experience and create a better world for family caregivers. Give today and help us create a world where every caregiver is seen, heard, and supported.
