DC Mental Health Resources

The Risa Fund developed an easy-to-read one-page infographic of mental health resources in order to reach people who may be isolated during COVID-19 and potentially struggling with mental health issues.

Our Minds Matter (OMM)

The Risa Fund is providing support to our minds matter (OMM) to enable program staff to participate in a three-day virtual training course offered by the National Council for Behavioral Health in August 2020.

This Is My Brave

The Risa Fund in part sponsored the production of a teen podcast series, The Brave Wave, launching in early 2021. Further, through a mentorship with TIMB’s teen creative director, we helped inspire the launch of an Instagram account (@thisismybraveteens).

Risa’s ReMatch Tennis Drive

In 2014, in partnership with Leveling the Playing Field, the Risa Fund launched a program called Risa’s ReMatch Tennis Drive, where gently used girls’ tennis clothes and equipment are collected and donated to underserved, aspiring young tennis players around the country.

DC Scores

Beginning in 2019, the Risa Fund collaborated with DC Scores by funding the two-part development of an intensive course in mental health and trauma-informed first-aid training for staff and coaches.

A Partnership to End Homelessness in DC

The Risa Fund has provided a grant to this joint partnership’s effort to make homelessness in the district a rare, brief and non-recurring by accelerating the implementation of the District’s strategy. The focus of the grant will be on leveraging and aligning public and private philanthropic resources.
