Welcome to the official Rare Impact Fund LinkedIn page - a space for learning,
collaboration, and collective action around youth mental health.
Here, we’ll share insights from our partners, lessons from the field, and perspectives on the systems-level change required to improve youth mental health globally.
Before Rare Beauty ever launched, our founder, Selena Gomez, was already committed to advancing mental health in a way that went beyond awareness. Drawing from her lived experience, Selena envisioned a model that paired storytelling with sustained investment, using the power of brand to help expand access to mental health support for young people. That vision became the Rare Impact Fund.
Today, the Fund works to close the gap between need and access by mobilizing resources through grantmaking, field-building, and cross-sector collaboration, with a focus on reaching under-resourced communities. Alongside our partners, we’re working toward a bold goal: mobilizing $100 million to support organizations strengthening mental health care for young people around the world.
We currently support 30 nonprofit partners across five continents, each advancing evidence-informed, community-rooted solutions - from school-based programs and community support networks to crisis intervention and suicide prevention services. Our role goes beyond funding this work. We learn alongside our partners, share what’s working and help move the broader field forward.
This space will offer insight into the systems change required to improve youth mental health, highlighting partner perspectives, emerging trends, and the collaboration needed across philanthropy, business, and community to create lasting impact.
As we step into 2026, we’re building on the momentum of the past five years to deepen our impact and expand access to youth mental health support around the world. For donors, advocates, and anyone invested in the future of youth mental health, we invite you to follow along, engage in conversation, and help build what comes next - together.
