Loveland Foundation
About Loveland Foundation
Since its establishment in 2018, the Loveland Foundation has emerged as a transformative force in Brooklyn, NY, dedicated to centering the healing and empowerment of Black women, girls, and non-binary individuals. Founded by writer and philanthropic innovator Rachel Cargle in response to her widely successful birthday wish fundraiser, Therapy for Black Women and Girls, the foundation grew from a grassroots movement that raised over $250,000 to a structured nonprofit organization committed to long-term systemic change. The Loveland Foundation operates with a philosophy that healing within communities of color creates ripple effects across generations, recognizing that mental health access is fundamentally tied to liberation and self-determination. Through collaborative initiatives including fellowships, residency programs, and listening tours, the organization prioritizes the voices and experiences of those it serves. Based in Brooklyn and serving communities nationally, the Loveland Foundation believes in becoming the change the community has been waiting for—creating spaces where Black women and non-binary individuals are validated, supported, and given access to the high-quality, culturally competent care they deserve. The foundation's work reflects a deep commitment to both immediate support and long-term transformation, positioning mental health equity as essential to broader social liberation and community empowerment.
