About Us TMCity supports promising new innovations in neurocognitive research and medicine, transforming our approach to mental health. We believe that mental health presents a critical challenge to our society today, and understanding the brain holds the key. While significant medical achievements have been made treating many physical diseases, there is still so much we don’t know about the brain and mental health. With technology and data available as never before, real progress in this field is possible, but it requires our attention and financial commitment. Catalyzing research efforts is critical to removing stigma and delivering proper care at every stage of life. TMCity is looking for cutting-edge research opportunities and transformative technologies that can advance our understanding of the brain and create innovative, real-world solutions to neurocognitive healthcare problems. With a rich heritage of philanthropy, it is our honor and privilege to leverage our resources and expertise to help develop treatments and cures for brain-related ailments. Grant Funding With awards ranging from $25,000 - $250,000, we have the flexibility to sponsor a wide spectrum of non-profit partners. Requests for smaller or larger amounts may be considered. The most crucial element of an application will be ensuring your request addresses our Foundation’s focus in neurocognitive healthcare and treatments for brain-related ailments. Grants are made for one year in the first instance, and organizations can apply again for multi-year funding after being awarded an initial year-long grant. An initial two-year award may be considered in some cases.
