About the Grantee:

MindSite News was launched during the pandemic to address that deficiency by bringing in-depth reporting and compelling stories about mental health to a public and policymakers increasingly eager to access them. As a nonprofit, mission-driven digital publication – and the only news site dedicated exclusively to mental health reporting – MindSite News seeks to create and sustain a sense of national urgency about the workings and failings of the U.S. mental health system and to impact that system through reporting, making it more equitable, effective, transparent and humane.
