Mission: Our Mission is to improve the health and well-being of individuals of all ages in the Central and MetroWest regions of Massachusetts.

Results: The mental and behavioral health crisis in our country has reached historic levels, and sadly, many fear the stigma associated with seeking help; delaying treatment or turning instead to drugs and alcohol as coping mechanisms. We all have an obligation to better understand the struggle faced by many of our friends and family, to provide support in every way possible, and to begin shedding the stigma associated with mental and behavioral health conditions.

Direct beneficiaries per year: Since 2008, we have given more than $5.1 million in grants to over 116 different non-profit organizations within the Central and MetroWest regions of Massachusetts. In 2022, we plan to grant another $850,000.

Programs: Reliant Foundation will make grants to local non-profit organizations for the purpose of supporting children’s and adolescents’ mental health and behavioral health programs, recovery programs for individuals of all ages facing substance use disorder, and new initiatives to reduce stigma around these issues.
