Mission

What it reported doing in 2025

Over 560 members and counting.since 4/6/2017, there has been a steady flow of hundreds of people (we fondly refer to them as village members) living our perfect mission. Each and every conversation makes a difference for those involved in these discussions.sarahs village foundation was created in 2021 with a focus of helping the easton, norton, and surrounding communities.we utilize 100% of the funds we raise to strengthen the policies and programs within these school systems to promote wellness, eliminate the stigma associated with mental illness and normalize the conversation around mental health.were collaborating with various organizations such as kylecares foundation, activeminds, the jed foundation, the american foundation for suicide prevention (afsp), dirty hands project, and samaritans to maximize the impact in the community.we have provided $20,000 grants to the norton and easton school systems since the 22 23 school year. We increased the grants to $30k for the 25 26 school year. Through these grants, sarah's village foundation has funded an initiative that provides counseling for norton students in need through the epione health and wellness center since july 1st of 2022. These services are provided to students that are unable to otherwise receive counseling due to lack of family insurance coverage, or if they are in immediate need and on a waitlist for other agencies and a wait is determined as a concern for their mental health or needs.this program was originally grant-funded, but since the original grant ran out svf has stepped in to fund and continue the vital program that has supported about 24 students a year. Through the end of 2025 we have supported 97 students and funded 699 counseling sessions.we started a similar program in easton for the 25 26 school year through a partnership with be inspired counseling. We have also provided funds for speakers as part of health classes and club activities to build help seeking skills and habits that promote mental health. Over 7,500 students participated in these classes and presentations.weve also partnered with kylecares foundation on an active minds conference that they hosted since 2023 at gillette stadium. 1,570 students from 100 schools have participated and weve funded the keynote speakers. We continue to support afsp and have raised over $123,500 for them since 2017. We have donated $7,100 to samaritans since 2021.
