The Scattergood Behavioral Health Foundation appears to fund high-impact, specialized support aimed at improving behavioral-health crisis response and system capacity, as evidenced by a large grant for program/crisis consultation. Their giving prioritizes technical assistance and strategic consulting to strengthen crisis services rather than direct service delivery or broad program grants. The single award suggests a focus on targeted investments that can influence systems or practice across providers.
Scattergood Behavioral Health Foundation stands out for a $323,640 grant to Meta Global LLC for program/crisis consultation, a large award that points to its interest in behavioral-health system support rather than only direct service delivery. The foundation’s recent awards repeatedly center crisis response, community-based mental health, and substance use harm reduction, with several grants aimed at implementation, consultation, and outreach. That pattern suggests a funder that backs organizations working on the infrastructure around care as much as the care itself. Other recent grants reinforce that profile. It gave $231,967 to Yale Universitythe Consultation for a program/consultation center, and $75,000 to Resolve Philly for Shake the Table, a grant tied to a specific community engagement effort. The foundation also supported children’s and family-focused mental health work, immigrant wellness, and neighborhood resilience in Philadelphia and nearby communities. Across the record, Scattergood’s funding tends to support organizations that are building capacity, testing models, or strengthening behavioral-health responses at the community and systems level.
In behavioral-health crisis response, Scattergood Behavioral Health Foundation backed Meta Global LLC with $50,000 for 988 crisis implementation. That same implementation focus appears in a $50,000 grant to Body Empowerment Project for 988 crisis implementation, showing an interest in strengthening response systems rather than only funding downstream services. The foundation also invests in substance use harm reduction. It awarded $50,000 to AIDS Care Group for substance use harm reduction and another $50,000 to Black Women’s Health Alliance for the same purpose. Related community-based mental health work appears in a $75,000 grant to Pathways to Housing PA for mental health community based treatment. Its immigrant wellness work is also explicit. Scattergood gave $51,500 each to Puentes De Salud, African Family Health Organization, and La Puerta Abierta Inc under its Community Fund for Immigrant Wellness.
Scattergood Behavioral Health Foundation’s typical grant size sits at $10,000 at the 25th percentile, $24,685 at the median, and $25,000 at the 75th percentile. The recent record also includes a small number of much larger awards, including six-figure and high five-figure grants tied to consultation, crisis work, and targeted community initiatives. The pattern is strongly repeat-based rather than one-off. Meta Global LLC appears multiple times in the recent grants list, and Resolve Philly also shows up more than once. Scattergood is a regular funder, not a DAF, and it also makes program-related investments. Several of its active programs accept unsolicited proposals, including grantmaking, PRI, and the participatory Community Fund for Wellness.

Highly concentrated, single large grant focused on consulting/technical assistance rather than many small service or program grants; appears to favor targeted, strategic investments (one-time or limited engagements) over broad, recurring funding.

Scattergood gives locally, and the recent record is heavily concentrated in Pennsylvania: 94% of grants go to recipients in PA. Philadelphia is the clearest hub, with grants also landing in Chester, Erie, Pittsburgh, Allentown, Doylestown, Narbeth, and Milford. The list includes a smaller number of out-of-state recipients such as Camden, New Haven, New York, Covina, and Parkville, but the grant profile remains centered on Pennsylvania communities.
The recent record shows support for crisis response, community-based mental health, substance use harm reduction, immigrant wellness, and neighborhood resilience. Grants include funding for 988 crisis implementation, mental health outreach and engagement, community-based treatment, and consultation or technical assistance for behavioral-health programs.
