Grant Programs
Investing in Hope.
Building Stronger Communities.
Every grant removes one more barrier between someone and the help they need.
Our grant programs are designed to remove the barriers that keep individuals and families from accessing mental health support, education, and essential resources. As Purchase For Purpose grows, so will the number of grants we're able to offer.
Every grant program on this page is funded entirely through private support — thrift store revenue, individual donations, fundraising events, and corporate sponsorships. No program is funded by government dollars. That means every purchase, donation, and partnership directly builds the fund these programs will one day draw from.
Grant The Gap™
Bridging the gap between insurance and healing.
Many people have health insurance but still can't afford therapy because of deductibles, copays, or coinsurance. Others have no insurance at all. Grant The Gap™ is built to close that exact gap — helping eligible individuals access mental health care through our network of participating providers.
The Gap Fund may assist with
- Insurance copays
- Deductibles
- Coinsurance
- Self-pay therapy sessions
- Initial mental health assessments
- Crisis counseling assistance
- Financial hardship assistance
Partner Clinics
Purchase For Purpose partners with licensed mental health providers who share our commitment to increasing access to care. Partner clinics may:
- Accept insurance
- Accept self-pay patients
- Participate in Gap Fund assistance
- Refer patients for financial support
- Collaborate on community outreach initiatives
