Loveland Foundation

The Loveland Foundation, based in Brooklyn, NY, provides comprehensive mental health support and professional development services designed specifically for Black women, girls, and non-binary individuals. The organization covers the full cost of therapy through its Therapy Fund, connecting community members with culturally competent mental health professionals who understand their unique experiences and needs. Beyond direct therapy support, the foundation offers fellowships and residency programs that invest in the professional development of BIPOC therapists, strengthening the mental health care workforce serving communities of color. The Loveland Foundation also provides curated mental health resources and operates listening tours that amplify community voices and inform their ongoing initiatives. Founded in 2018 by Rachel Cargle in response to overwhelming community demand for accessible mental health care, the organization has expanded from its initial successful fundraiser—which raised over $250,000—into a comprehensive nonprofit dedicated to systemic change. By reimagining mental health care accessibility for Black women, the foundation believes it creates a model that benefits everyone. Operating from Brooklyn, the Loveland Foundation remains committed to removing financial barriers to therapy while building a more equitable mental health system that prioritizes opportunity, access, validation, and healing for the communities it serves.
