What Philly Bridge & Jawn does

The Scattergood Foundation is a Philadelphia-based private 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundation established in 2005 that operates through a "Think, Do, Support" framework focused on disrupting and transforming the behavioral health system. Its operations span three pillars: thought leadership (publications, blogs, policy papers), direct action (technical assistance, consulting, project execution such as MindKare Kiosks and Place Matters geospatial analysis), and grantmaking (participatory funds, special grant programs, and program-related investments at below-market interest rates). It serves a diversified set of stakeholders including nonprofit behavioral health providers, government agencies (notably the City of Philadelphia Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual disAbility Services), peer foundations (Peg's Foundation, Patrick P. Lee Foundation, Pew Charitable Trusts, William Penn Foundation, among others), and academic partners (Yale University, Clark University). The Foundation runs sub-branded programs including the RISE Partnership, the Community Fund for Immigrant Wellness, the Think Bigger Do Good Policy Series, Vision Philadelphia, and Place Matters.

Funding flows to the Foundation from institutional philanthropy partners, and it redistributes capital through grants (e.g., $3.1M via the Overdose Prevention & Community Healing Fund from National Opioid Settlement Funds, $540K to 18 immigrant-serving organizations, $175K to 7 Innovation Award winners between 2013–2019). It monetizes its capacity-building expertise through consulting services offered on a sliding-fee scale. Headcount is approximately 11 staff including a President (Joe Pyle), COO (Alyson Ferguson), Director of Learning & Community Impact (Caitlin O'Brien), grants management, and learning consultants. The Foundation does not develop proprietary technology or AI/ML products; its primary distribution channels are a grant portal (grantinterface.com), participatory grantmaking processes, and a content/policy paper publishing engine (32+ Think Bigger Do Good papers, Innovations Database with 184 program submissions).
