The Foundation for Community and Health Advancement prioritizes mental-health prevention, treatment, training and research—especially for children, adolescents and underserved Arizona communities. They fund clinical providers, school- and community-based youth programs, and university research/education partnerships, often supporting capacity-building and programmatic mental-health initiatives. Grants also include secondary interests in chronic illness support and disability services. Their giving profile blends multi-thousand-dollar program grants with many repeat awards to core partners and a steady stream of smaller community sponsorships.
Mental-health prevention and treatment are the clearest throughline in The Foundation for Community and Health Advancement’s recent grantmaking, with repeated awards to Arizona providers, youth-serving nonprofits, and university partners. The foundation gave $150,000 to Notmykid for mental health funds, $125,000 to Child Help for mental health funds, and $125,000 to Terros for mental health funds, showing support for both prevention and service delivery. It also backs capacity and research work through larger institutional grants, including awards to Arizona State University-related entities and Johns Hopkins. Alongside those core mental-health commitments, the foundation funds related community needs such as substance use disorder services, disability support, chronic health education, and medical-debt relief in Arizona. Its grantmaking includes clinical organizations, school and community programs, and nonprofit intermediaries, which points to a mix of direct service support and partnerships that extend behavioral-health resources across Phoenix, Tucson, Scottsdale, and other Arizona communities. The presence of repeat awards and multi-year support for some organizations suggests an ongoing relationship with core grantees rather than one-time project funding alone.
Youth mental-health programs are a major emphasis. The foundation gave $150,000 to Notmykid for mental health funds and $125,000 to Child Help for mental health funds, both of which align with prevention and early intervention. It also supported Friends of Navajo County Anti-drug Coalition with $124,388 for mental health funds, connecting youth and community behavior-health work. Training and research are another thread. Valleywise Health Foundation received $122,336 for a mental health training fund, while Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center received $124,100 for a research mindfulness intervention. The foundation also made university-linked awards to Asu Foundation for New American Unv for the ECHO Project and CIP Project, both near $125,000. Beyond behavioral health, the funder has supported substance use disorder services through Easter Seals Blake Foundation, and chronic health education through Advance Community for a diabetes education program.

Concentrated mid-size grants focused on mental-health program support and training, with multiple repeat grantees and a geographic emphasis on Arizona; a mix of several larger institutional awards and numerous smaller community sponsorships.
Notable grantees: ASU Foundation for New American University, NotMyKid / NOTMYKID INC, Child Help Inc, Valleywise Health Foundation, Neighborhood Outreach Access to Health
Typical grants cluster in the middle five figures, with a p25 of $15,000, median of $25,000, and p75 of $44,978. That distribution sits alongside a smaller set of six-figure awards for core partners and special projects. The pattern also shows continuity: organizations such as Asu Foundation for a New American University appear more than once across years, and several Arizona providers receive repeated awards tied to mental health. The foundation is structured as a grantmaker that also funds individuals, and it does not make program-related investments. Its awards appear to be mostly direct grants and sponsorship-style payments rather than an open application program.
Giving is highly concentrated in Arizona, with 93% of grants flowing to recipients in the headquarters state. Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tucson, Tempe, Mesa, Peoria, Taylor, and Nogales all appear among recipient cities, showing a statewide but local pattern. Outside Arizona, the recent-grants file includes a small number of out-of-state recipients such as Baltimore, New York, and Long Island City, but the overall recipient base remains overwhelmingly in-state and US-based.
Its recent grants center on mental-health prevention, treatment, training, and research, especially for children, adolescents, and underserved Arizona communities. The portfolio also includes substance use disorder services, disability-related support, chronic health education, and medical-debt relief in Arizona.
Recent grants cluster in the middle five figures. The p25 is $15,000, the median is $25,000, and the p75 is $44,978, with some larger awards above $100,000 for core partners and special projects.
No. Arizona recipients dominate, with 93% of grants going to the HQ state, but the recent-grants list also includes recipients in Baltimore, New York, and Long Island City. Even so, the overall giving pattern remains strongly local and Arizona-centered.
Yes. Recent examples include a $122,336 grant to Valleywise Health Foundation for a mental health training fund, a $124,100 grant to Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center for a research mindfulness intervention, and two university-linked awards to Asu Foundation for New American Unv for the ECHO Project and CIP Project.
Yes. The recent grants show multiple awards to some of the same organizations across years, including Asu Foundation for a New American University and Notmykid. That pattern suggests ongoing relationships with selected partners rather than only one-time support.
