Partnership

Serving as a catalyst in philanthropy and across sectors.

We are committed to serving as a catalyst in philanthropy and across sectors by fostering strategic partnerships that can amplify impact. The foundation builds and strengthens partnerships with funders, policymakers, organizations run by people with direct experience, and other community stakeholders to enhance collective efforts in mental health. This work includes acting as a network connector and convener to increase opportunities for collaboration and shared funding strategies.

The foundation will also work to develop new partnerships and deepen relationships with existing partners by serving as a thought partner, facilitator, and resource in advancing mental health efforts.

By sharing insights and learning from these partnerships, the foundation will contribute to Texas stakeholders’ ability to address mental health challenges and foster sustainable, community-driven solutions. This strategic focus reflects the foundation’s commitment to collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and strong networks that support mental well-being.
