Since its launch in 2019, the Erie Foundation has developed an ambitious and systemic approach, designed in collaboration with a network of renowned international experts.
The foundation helps and supports ’on the ground’ initiatives designed to improve the mental health system so that everyone, including the most fragile in society, has access to help and care.
Our four key objectives
We have chosen partners who can provide solutions to address the four most pressing issues identified in the field of mental health today. Together, their projects are:
Enabling early access to care
Equipping frontline services to identify needs and act early
Better coordinated care pathways
Piloting a care pathway coordinator role for patients
Supporting recovery
Structuring and scaling professional peer support
Changing perceptions
Bringing thoughtful architecture and high quality design into psychiatric care settings
Support,
unify,
energize.
The work of the Erie Foundation is rooted in the principles of strategic philanthropy. It offers various types of support to its partner organizations.
Financial support, generally spread over several years, allowing projects to stabilize and thus develop and maximise their impact.
Non-financial support, aimed at making sure our partners have access to the foundation’s skills and networks to increase their impact through strategic support, synergies with others, sharing information…

Since 2019, the foundation has helped and supported over a hundred projects.
