About John W Brick Mental Health Foundation
John W Brick Mental Health Foundation Inc. gives around a clear idea: integrating exercise, nutrition, mindfulness, and other self-care approaches into mental health care and well-being. In 2023, its largest recent awards included $25,000 for the United States Olympic & Paralympic Museum’s "Becoming Your Personal Best" Team Strong project, $25,000 for Holistic Life Foundation to support mindful students, and $25,000 for National Center for Healthy Veterans. Those grants show a mix of youth resilience, veteran health, and wellness-oriented programming rather than a single narrow service model. The foundation also backs research and clinical or community programs that connect physical wellness with mental health outcomes. Johns Hopkins University received $15,000 for the CALM project, while Global Wellness Institute received $10,000 to educate public and private sectors about preventative health and wellness. A $10,000 grant to Catch a Lift-1 supported work with veterans, and a $6,890 in-kind gift of weight plates to Virginia Private Investment Capital LLC shows that support can include equipment as well as cash. Across these grants, the pattern is direct support for evidence-based self-care, mental wellness education, and programs serving veterans, students, and broader community audiences.
