We are proud to share that Born This Way Foundation is announcing the expansion of our Kindness in Community Fund. We are investing $1,000,000 in support of nonprofit, youth mental health-serving organizations across the country in conjunction with the dates for The Chromatica Ball Summer Stadium Tour. As we celebrate ten years of Born This Way Foundation and the upcoming tour, we invite nonprofit organizations that are focused on youth mental health and based in or around the U.S. tour stops* to apply to receive a grant between $25,000-$50,000 dollars.

Learn about and take the Be There Certificate, a new, free online mental health course, available in English, French, and Spanish, that offers a simple, actionable framework teaching people how to recognize when someone might be struggling, understand their role in supporting that person, and learn how to connect them to the help they need and deserve. The Be There Certificate is mental health education for all!

Learn about our programs and initiatives aimed at demonstrating the power of kindness to impact well-being, validating the emotions of young people everywhere, and eliminating the stigma surrounding mental health.

CHANNEL KINDNESS: Stories of Kindness and Community is a collection of inspirational stories written by young people as well as personal notes of empowerment from our co-founder Lady Gaga. Within these pages, you’ll meet young changemakers who found their inner strength, prevailed in the face of bullies, started their own social movements, and decided to break through the mental health stigma. These storytellers share how they felt, created safe spaces for LGBTQ+ youth, and embraced kindness with every fiber of their being by helping others without the expectation of anything in return.
