ESTABLISHED 2023
MISSION Mental Matters Mission/The Marty and Bob Jacobs Foundation’s only goal is to fund the mental health therapy of young people up to age 25 who are uninsured or underinsured. We are committed to removing the financial barrier to therapy to ensure that all children have the opportunity to become mentally healthy and confident adults.
SERVING OUR COMMUNITY We are an innovative organization that aims to reach the most vulnerable in Cincinnati through collaboration with other nonprofits, social workers, and counselors who can identify those children who need our financial support.
Each child can choose a therapist with whom they can connect and identify in order to make treatment effective. We offer payment of services until that child no longer needs care and/or their mental health issues are resolved. We are currently funding students from five different communities and every dime goes directly to a child’s care. We are a 100% volunteer organization. We are working closely with The Being Project, which teaches social emotional learning in the schools.
