About Adel B Korkor Md Foundation for Mental Health
A defining feature of the Adel B Korkor MD Foundation for Mental Health Inc is its repeated support for mental health education through a small set of sizable awards, especially to organizations tied to depression awareness and university-based learning. The largest recent grant in the list went to Giving Voice to Depression, which received $99,915 in 2024 after a $96,438 grant in 2023. That same pattern of repeated support appears in other awards, including funding for the University of Wisconsin Foundation and Penfield Children's Center. The foundation’s recent giving also shows a strong preference for educational work over clinical service delivery. Grants in the list support mental health education, destigmatization, and training, often through schools, universities, and community organizations. Recipients include Madison- and Milwaukee-based institutions, along with organizations serving children and community audiences. The scale is moderate overall, with annual giving just above half a million dollars and grant sizes that range from small awards to five-figure commitments. Across the recent grants shown here, the foundation gives consistently within the United States and concentrates most often in Wisconsin.
