WHAT IS FIRST REACH?

First Reach Foundation is a non-profit dedicated to supporting first responder access to mental health resources.

Our current focus is to build funds that will offer grant opportunities to first responders taking steps towards caring for their mental health and well-being.

Our grants will support the cost of treatment, therapy, or other living costs while a person is budgeting for their care.
