BEHAVIORAL HEALTHCARE COMMUNITY ENDOWMENT FUND
Behavioral Healthcare Community Endowment Fund (BHCEF) is a national nonprofit organization that provides grants and partnership support to addiction treatment centers and rehabilitation programs across the country so they can focus on saving lives and expanding access to care.
Our mission is to strengthen the nation’s behavioral healthcare and addiction medicine infrastructure by providing funding and support to treatment centers and mental health organizations. Through education, awareness campaigns, and direct funding, we help more individuals access the substance use recovery resources they need.
We fund the people doing the work so more individuals can get the help they need, when they need it most.
The Behavioral Healthcare Community Endowment Fund (BHCEF) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the future of addiction recovery. We believe that access to quality treatment saves lives and we’re committed to making it more available through targeted grants and partnerships. We operate as both a funding partner and a public health charity, working to bridge gaps in addiction medicine and community rehabilitation services.
Our team is composed of experts working in behavioral healthcare, addiction treatment, and recovery support management. We have witnessed firsthand how frequently behavioral healthcare providers lack the resources to optimize their client’s recovery. BHCEF was created in 2018 to fill these gaps by awarding grants to providers who exhibit strong outcome success.
