Welcome to The REACH Institute's new website! Same mission, same commitment to improving children's mental health care, with a fresh new look.

Your Investment Puts
Evidence-Based Mental
Health Care Within
Reach of Every Child

REACH is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Every dollar you give trains clinicians, funds scholarships, and expands access to effective mental health care — especially in communities where children need it most.

1 in 5 children has a diagnosable mental health condition. Only 20% receive effective care.

REACH exists to close that gap — by equipping the primary care clinicians children already see with the tools and confidence to act. Your gift makes that training possible.

FUNDERS

Partner With REACH to Transform Pediatric Mental Health Care Across the Country

REACH’s work is made possible by a growing community of funders — corporations, foundations, health systems, and individuals — who share our conviction that every child deserves access to timely, effective mental health care.

Corporate and foundation partnerships with REACH are an opportunity to make a measurable, lasting difference. Your investment can fund scholarships for clinicians in underserved communities, sponsor full cohort trainings, and support new REACH-licensed training sites.

REACH offers named sponsorship recognition, co-branded opportunities, and impact reporting — so your organization can see exactly what your investment achieves and share that story with confidence. We welcome conversations with funders of all sizes committed to this mission.

REACH does not share or sell donor information. 
Charitable gifts are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. Federal Tax ID: 20-5437835.

SPONSOR A SCHOLARSHIP

Fund One Provider. Transform the Lives of Thousands of Children.

For $2,500, you can fund a scholarship for a primary care clinician in an under-resourced community — equipping them to serve 250 children with mental health concerns each year. One Gift. Lasting Change.

Your donation supports a clinician in a high-need community in taking REACH training and transforming care for their patients. Each scholarship-funded clinician goes on to impact approximately 250 children with mental health needs per year. The ripple effect is real, measurable, and lasting.

Scholarship sponsors can be recognized on REACH’s recipient pages, in our communications, and in our annual report. Bulk scholarship sponsorships and named scholarship funds are also available. Every child behind every recipient profile is why this work matters.
