The Breathworks Foundation focuses on making mindfulness accessible to people who might otherwise be excluded by cost, health barriers, or social isolation. It primarily supports individuals through bursaries for online mindfulness courses and teacher/facilitator training, while also making small seed grants to community-led projects serving underserved groups such as refugees and grieving parents. Its giving is distinctive in combining direct participant support with capacity-building for mindfulness practitioners and community organizations.
Small-scale, targeted support through bursaries and seed grants rather than large open-ended grants. Funding is typically partial, often covering about 50% of course or training costs, with some larger or full bursaries in exceptional cases; bursary decisions are made monthly and course places open about two months before each course starts.

Check the relevant course or training page early, since bursary places open roughly two months before each cohort and the bursary panel meets at the end of every month. Applicants should be prepared to explain financial need and how mindfulness support will help them or their community; community project applicants should emphasize underserved reach and local leadership.
