This strategy is not a reset. It is an evolution of that shared learning.
The determinants of mental health and wellbeing span our social, economic, environmental, and political conditions, and we continue to see people experiencing increasing challenges in navigating complex changes and impacts across all these areas. Our systems and designed responses are often stretched and reactive and often arrive once distress has already taken hold.
Yet communities continue to show us that wellbeing is built much earlier, in everyday conditions such as belonging, identity, culture, shared spaces, trusted leadership and collective care. That there is strength in working together and that small shifts can make big differences.
We believe this moment calls for long-term, preventative and community-led approaches. It asks philanthropy to move beyond short-term programs and to invest in the conditions that allow communities to shape their own wellbeing futures.

This strategy is an invitation.
An invitation to communities to continue shaping this work with us. An invitation to partners and funders to walk alongside community-led approaches. And an invitation to keep learning, adapting and acting together in service of long-term wellbeing.
We know that lasting change does not come from quick fixes. It comes from sustained relationships, shared power and a collective commitment to building the conditions that allow communities to thrive, now and for generations to come.
That is the journey we are committed to over the next seven years.
Setting the foundations: Our strategy in the first 18 months
Our 2026 - 2033 strategy is an expression of our commitment to continue and deepen work towards our vision of communities leading their own wellbeing futures – grounded in connection, culture, identity and collective care.
The hope and ambition underlying our strategic pillars will require meaningful steps and action across the seven years and will only be possible by working in partnership with communities, stakeholders and systems.
Our 2026 - 2028 Implementation Plan signals how we will begin putting the strategy into practice over the first 18 months – building the foundations that allow this work to grow over time.

Theory of Change
Our Theory of Change centres around our fundamental belief that communities are the experts in their own lives and our greatest impact is contributing to pathways for communities to lead preventive wellbeing solutions.
We believe that if we focus our actions on how we show up in partnership with communities then not only will we better support their work, but we can be part of shifting broader funding and systemic conditions.
Through measuring and sharing social impact aligned with our Theory of Change, we hope to tell a story about how funders can work in different ways and how elevating community leadership contributes to broader social transformation.
