Our partners at the Jed Foundation (JED) received the largest donation in their 25+ year history. Philanthropist Mackenzie Scott gifted $40 million to advance JED’s mission to protect emotional health and prevent suicide for teens and young adults nationwide. This gift builds on her 2022 donation of $15 million, which helped JED reach four million more young people through their school and community-based programs.
These transformational gifts come at a critical time for youth mental health, as young people are navigating unprecedented challenges to well-being, such as AI companions. With these funds, JED can think boldly and strategically about how they will elevate their impact and help the next generation thrive. Learn more here.
