MENTAL WELLNESS FUNDS
Trans & Nonbinary Mental Wellness Fund: The Trans & Nonbinary Mental Wellness Fund is an ongoing initiative of Irvington Counseling Collective dedicated to addressing the severe mental health inequities faced by Transgender and Nonbinary residents of Indianapolis. Amid harmful rhetoric and ongoing legislative attacks, this fund provides concrete support—redistributing resources to affirm dignity, safety, and mental wellness.
Eligibility: Open to Transgender and/or Nonbinary adults (and youth with guardian consent) living in Marion County.
Funding: Participants may receive up to $500 per calendar year in reimbursements for affirming mental health care. Eligible expenses include therapy, HRT-related care, support groups, community-based healing practices, or any service the applicant defines as vital to their mental well-being. Reimbursements are paid directly to providers, and funds are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis as resources allow.
At Irvington Counseling Collective, we stand firmly against the systemic harm targeting LGBTQIA+ communities and are committed to expanding access to care that is not only supportive, but life-saving.
💙 Join us in this work. We invite our broader community to donate, share, and amplify this effort so that Trans and Nonbinary Hoosiers receive the affirming support they deserve.
BIPOC Mental Wellness Fund: The Black, Brown, and Indigenous Mental Wellness Fund is an ongoing initiative of Irvington Counseling Collective created to help close the gap in mental health access for BIPOC residents of Marion County. Rooted in equity and community-defined care, the fund supports culturally responsive healing practices that reflect the needs and values of those receiving care.
Eligibility: Black, Indigenous, and People of Color living in Marion County.
Funding: Eligible applicants may receive up to $500 per calendar year for therapeutic or mental wellness services, including (but not limited to): individual or group therapy, community workshops, psychiatric or herbalist consults, somatic or spiritual healing practices, and other culturally attuned supports. Funds are reimbursed directly to providers and distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Approved funds must be used within 60 days of award.
We are proud to continue this effort in collaboration with our community, and we invite individuals and organizations to donate, share, and partner with us as we work toward a more equitable, affirming, and sustainable mental health landscape.
Indiana Mental Health Clinicians Wellness Fund: The Indiana Mental Health Clinicians Wellness Fund was created to support the providers who dedicate their lives to the wellbeing of others. Mental health clinicians often face burnout due to the emotionally demanding nature of the work, and this fund offers resources so they too can receive care.
Eligibility: Licensed mental health clinicians practicing in Indiana with 2+ years of post-graduate experience.
Funding: Eligible clinicians may receive up to $500 to access any wellness-supporting practice of their choice. This may include therapy, consultation, bodywork, mindfulness programs, or other sustaining services. All funds are paid directly to the provider selected by the applicant.
By investing in clinicians’ wellness, this fund helps strengthen the sustainability of the mental health field in Indiana—ensuring that those who care for our communities can continue their work with resilience and balance.
MENTAL HEALTH RELIEF FUND
According to an NCBI study, 47% of Americans with common mental health challenges report not accessing care due to cost or lack of insurance coverage. At Irvington Counseling Collective, we believe quality mental health care should be available to everyone, regardless of socioeconomic status.
The Mental Health Relief Fund provides support for ICC clients who are unable to pay even our lowest sliding-scale rate. This fund makes it possible for individuals to receive highly subsidized therapy for a period of time while they await insurance coverage or stabilize their financial situation.
By reducing financial barriers, the Mental Health Relief Fund ensures that no one has to delay or forgo care during times of greatest need.
GENERAL FUND
To keep our sliding-scale rates and practice fees low—supporting the sustainability and wellbeing of both clients and clinicians—we direct a portion of donations to essential organizational functions. These include facilities upkeep, financial management, billing coordination, community outreach, and other core operations.
Our goal is to keep the financial burden of running a practice off our clients and clinicians while maintaining the highest quality, most impactful mental health services possible.
Your gift to the General Fund helps us sustain this mission of providing equitable and accessible mental health care for our community.
