We are a global community of private funders committed to supporting mental health, focusing on advocacy, awareness and access to services.
Together, the Next Wave Champions:
Help funders who are new to mental health to learn from an experienced community of peers, sharing resources and practical advice on how you can integrate mental health into your portfolio of giving.
Publish an annual report of inspiration and learning, growing our collective understanding of how supporting global mental health can accelerate progress across the Sustainable Development Goals
The global mental health crisis is dangerously under-funded and over-stigmatised. We believe that, if we work together, private funders can play a critical role in catalysing a global prioritisation of mental health.
Each Next Wave Champion makes a commitment on which they report at the end of each year. Our annual report aims to accelerate our collective learning and to inspire further action.
If you are a funder who does not yet fund mental health but is interested to do so, find out how we can support you! If you are an existing mental health funder, come be a Next Wave Champion and help to scale mental health funding.
