“Form 990 is not reviewed by the entire board prior to filing. The executive director, finance committee, and the board chair review the tax return prior to the board chair signing the return.”

“All employees and members of the board of directors are expected to use good judgement, to adhere to high ethical standards, and to act in such a manner as to avoid any actual or potential conflict of interest. A conflict of interest occurs when the personal, professional, or business interests of an employee or board member conflict with the interests of the organization. Both the fact and the appearance of a conflict of interest should be avoided. Mindful philanthropy maintains a strict conflict of interest policy for all staff, leaders, and board members.”

“Form 990, part ix - mindful philanthropy employs a relationship-based fundraising model focused on trusted partnerships with aligned funders. The organization does not engage in public solicitation campaigns or use professional fundraising firms. Revenue is driven through philanthropic partnerships that share our mission. Mindful philanthropy maintains a healthy level of operating reserves to ensure financial stability and strategic flexibility. As a field catalyst, reserves allow the organization to manage timing differences in philanthropic commitments, sustain multi- year initiatives, and respond quickly to catalytic opportunities. Maintaining adequate liquidity supports long-term sustainability in service of our mission.”

“Mindful philanthropy is a nonprofit organization dedicated to activating new and impactful funding for systems changes that improve mental health, addiction, and well-being. As a field-catalyst-not a fee-for-service provider-we harness philanthropy for our efforts. Our work centers on three core areas: (1) funder engagement and activation: we guide and connect more than 1,000 funders to evidence-based opportunities that increase impact and align resources around shared goals, influencing hundreds of millions of dollars in philanthropic commitments. (2) systems alignment in priority areas: we co-create investment roadmaps and portfolio recommendations across mental health focus areas to drive long-term systems change. (3) field learning and knowledge development: through research and publication, including the mental health at the center series, we strengthen the field's knowledge base and inform smarter, more impactful giving. Across all programs, mindful philanthropy measures success by the partners engaged, instances of capital activated, and improvements achieved in mental health philanthropy nationwide.”
