What SeekHer Foundation does

SeekHer Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, founded in 2021 and headquartered in San Francisco, dedicated to closing the gender gap in mental health. The organization is fiscally sponsored by the Social Good Fund (EIN: 46-1323531) and operates as the charitable arm of parent entity WellSeek PBC, a Public Benefit Corporation. Programs are delivered free of charge to participants and span community (SeekHer Circle, #WeHearHer Circles, Heal & Lead Circles), leadership development (Women Who LEAD cohort, SeekHer Scholars), youth advocacy (#LookForward Youth Advocacy Council), and an adult advocacy layer (#WeHearHer Advocacy Council, 700+ members).

The foundation's core intellectual output is the annual SeekHer Shift Report, with the 5th edition released in 2026 and underpinned by 3,226 survey respondents. The 2026 cycle introduced the Emotional Equity Index (EEI), a proprietary framework that translates survey data into a branded metric on women's mental wellbeing, creating a reusable research and content asset. Operations are digital-first with no dedicated mobile application or AI-enabled product surface described in available materials; engagement is delivered through online communities, virtual sessions, and event-based activations.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid philanthropic model combining individual donations with corporate sponsorships from brands including OLLY, RoC Skincare, and Maurices. All programs and resources are provided at no cost to participants, with $500 stipends offered to youth advocates and chapter leaders. The foundation employs 11-50 staff and is led by founder Monica Mo, PhD, alongside a small executive team that includes clinical and academic advisors. No funding rounds, M&A activity, patents, or third-party-validated commercial metrics have been disclosed.

Emerging players

• The Body Positive: The Body Positive is a nonprofit that teaches people of all ages to lead embodied and joyful lives through research-based body image and self-care programming. Comparable to SeekHer's body-image and beauty-standards programming (cited as a pain point in their research), with overlapping workshop/curriculum delivery and similar founder-driven nonprofit operating model.
• Sad Girls Club: Sad Girls Club is a nonprofit mental health and community organization for women and girls of color. Emerging player peer to SeekHer: highly comparable community-led, women-of-color-focused mission and storytelling/social-media advocacy model, but smaller scale and earlier stage of program development.
• Black Girls Smile: Black Girls Smile is a nonprofit promoting positive mental health for Black girls and young women through education, resources, and community programming. Emerging player peer to SeekHer: overlapping audience (Black women and girls), comparable community/workshop delivery model, and similar small-team nonprofit structure with limited geographic footprint.

Direct peers

• The Motherhood Center: The Motherhood Center provides maternal mental health treatment, support groups, and educational programming for new and expecting mothers. Comparable to SeekHer in women's mental health specialization, group-based healing modalities, and licensed-practitioner involvement in program delivery.
• The Jed Foundation: The Jed Foundation protects teen and young adult emotional health and prevents suicide through programs like JED Campus and Set to Go. Directly comparable to SeekHer's #LookForward Youth Advocacy Council in target demographic (teens), programmatic focus on early-intervention mental health, and school/community-based delivery model.
• Born This Way Foundation: Founded by Lady Gaga and her mother, Born This Way Foundation supports young people's mental health through Kindness in Community Fund grants, peer support, and research. Comparable to SeekHer in youth mental health focus, grants-based funding model, storytelling-driven advocacy, and peer-led community programming.
• Postpartum Support International: PSI is the leading nonprofit dedicated to helping families suffering from postpartum depression and other perinatal mood disorders. It is a direct peer to SeekHer's women-specific mental health mission, with comparable practitioner-network model (perinatal psychiatric consults parallel SeekHer Scholars) and similar community-of-women engagement approach.
• The Loveland Foundation: The Loveland Foundation is a nonprofit dedicated to showing up for Black women and girls through mental health support, therapy access, and community building. It is the closest direct peer to SeekHer: comparable mission (women's mental health), similar advocacy-plus-grants model, comparable founder-driven community-led approach, and overlap in BIPOC and youth programming.

Broad incumbents

• Mental Health America: Mental Health America is one of the oldest community-based mental health nonprofits, operating the MHA Screening program, policy advocacy, and affiliate network. Broad incumbent peer to SeekHer: serves overlapping mental health audiences, publishes population-level research, but covers the entire population rather than specializing in women's mental health.
• National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI): NAMI is the largest U.S. grassroots mental health organization, providing advocacy, education, support groups, and public awareness. It is a broad incumbent relative to SeekHer: overlapping mental health advocacy mission but operating at vastly larger scale, with affiliated local NAMI chapters that compete with SeekHer's local #WeHearHer chapters for community mindshare and volunteer capacity.
