Founding Donors

In the fall of 2019 friends from across the country stepped up to be among the first to support a mission and vision held by mental health advocate Adrienne M. Augustus. These friends are

These contributors helped sow the seeds for what will be the grants gifted to organizations that recognize the importance of cultural competence in mental health education and treatment services.
