We are a global community of private funders committed to supporting mental health, focused 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.
Our community of Next Wave Champions offer their time and experience to help the Next Wave of mental health funders get up and running! Support includes masterclasses on specific areas of expertise, briefs exploring different topics in mental health, and a list of recommended experts, advisors, and mental health organisations.
