Your Gift Helps Change These Numbers.

Black girls deserve organizations built with their experiences, voices, and well-being at the center. Yet organizations serving Black communities, women, and girls continue to receive only a fraction of philanthropic dollars.

Your donation to MH Boxes is an investment directly into Black girls. It helps us provide culturally affirming Mental Health Boxes at no cost, develop young leaders through Her Voice, create mental health and wellness programming, and build spaces where Black girls are heard, believed, supported, and given opportunities to lead.
