The Thiru Family Trust Momentum Maker Grant

The Thiru Family Trust Momentum Maker Grant

The Thiru Family Trust Momentum Maker Grant (Momentum Maker) was established in 2023 thanks to a generous gift from the Thiru Family Trust. Momentum Maker embodies our shared passion for inspiring new paths to mental health and well-being in Arizona.

Each year, we identify a specific area of mental health-related need and award a single Momentum Maker grant package valued at $75,000 to address that need. Momentum Maker funding is designed to help grantees build capacity, innovate, test proof of concept, or expand early-stage projects.
