A Vision for Lasting Change in Mental Health

The Valinhos Foundation (pronounced: vuh-leen-yoes) is a private family foundation dedicated to improving the mental health and overall well-being landscape for youth (up to age 24), families, and communities across Indiana.

Our Mission

Our mission is to drive lasting, systemic change in Indiana’s mental health landscape by investing in innovative, data-driven solutions that fill gaps, improve quality, and reimagine how society supports mental health and well-being.

Our Vision

We envision an Indiana where all Hoosier youth and families can easily access high-quality, coordinated mental health care and support —made possible through innovation, strong community partnerships, and a bold reimagining of how we prioritize and invest in well-being.
