Since 1937, we have been pioneers in helping address mental health in Western Pennsylvania.
Still are.

Staunton Farm Foundation, through collaboration, innovation and advocacy, is investing in a future where behavioral health is understood, supported, and accepted. Now, in our 85th year, we continue to advance this mission; join us to spread the word of good work in our community.

Matilda Staunton Craig had a bold vision: provide people working on their mental health with “fresh air and sunshine.” While today’s activities look vastly different, thanks to powerful partnerships across ten Western Pennsylvania counties, the dream endures.

These three numbers could save a life: 988.

In July of 2022, 988 became the new three-digit dialing code that routes callers to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. This life-changing hotline for mental health crises should make it easier for people to gain access to services and, potentially, reduce police interventions.

Staunton Farm Foundation has long advocated for the hotline. And now, in light of its implementation, is working to ensure that the region’s mental and behavioral health infrastructure is up to the challenge. You, too, can help support this effort by working to #Fund988.

This week, Staunton Farm Foundation Executive Director Monique Jackson attended the Grantmakers In Health Conference, joining philanthropic leaders from across the country to explore innovative approaches to improving health outcomes and strengthening communities.

From learning about collaborative crisis response systems to discussing community engagement, impact measurement, and equitable access to care, the conference highlighted the power of partnerships and shared learning to create meaningful change.

At Staunton Farm Foundation, we believe that listening, learning, and collaborating are essential to advancing behavioral health across our region. Opportunities like these help us bring new ideas, strengthen relationships, and continue investing in solutions that improve the lives of individuals and families throughout Southwestern Pennsylvania.
