About Our Work
Meeting an Urgent Need:
Access to Equitable Care
While mental health is an important need for all individuals, members of underserved groups have unique needs and face additional challenges in getting equitable access to the support they need to thrive.
For BIPOC individuals, their daily experience often includes direct experience with overt racism, microaggressions, and navigating exclusionary or harmful systems. Racism and discrimination can often lead to additional stress, anxiety, and trauma - all contributing factors to deep mental health burdens.
For individuals who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community, daily life can include facing discrimination, navigating negative stereotypes, or dealing with threats or actual violence directed at them because of their sexuality or gender identity. As an additional challenge when seeking care, these individuals may often face cases where health care providers deny care, address them using harsh language, or blame their sexual orientation or gender identity as the cause of an illness.

Help Provide Support to Individuals in Need
Donations to the Princeton Foundation for Elevating Equality go directly to support our mission to provide access to therapy services to help improve wellness, mental health, and stability for individuals from underserved communities.
By supporting our work with a donation, you are helping us create a positive and long-lasting impact in the lives of the clients we serve. Access to much-needed therapy services can help to transform the life of someone in search of healing and support.
With your support, we can help provide free and low-cost therapy sessions with our coaches and therapists to help members of underserved communities get the mental health support they need to thrive.
We have applied for 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, and expect to receive tax-exempt status in early 2022. Any and all contributions in advance of 501(c)(3) status go towards helping serve clients as soon as possible with obtaining the compassionate and culturally competent care they deserve.
