Inside Philanthropy’s Role in Mental & Brain Health

Greg speaks with three leaders in mental health philanthropy: Alyson Nieman from Mindful Philanthropy, Sabrina Gracias from Ortus Foundation, and Christena Huntsman Durham from Huntsman Mental Health Foundation, each offering a distinct perspective on how funding decisions get made and where the biggest gaps remain.

In this episode we discuss:

• Trends in mental health philanthropy, and the 10-year challenge: how the field moves from roughly $2B to $35B in annual funding.
• Funding the clinic of the future: a $150M philanthropic gift behind the Huntsman Mental Health Institute’s crisis care center
• Youth mental health: how the Ortus Foundation is addressing regional gaps in the US Intermountain West
