The Anchor Grant by the I Am Kecia J Foundation provides a focused, practical lifeline for anyone facing mental health challenges without health insurance—or with costs and co-pays that put counseling out of reach. This grant offers a stipend for four (4) therapy sessions with a licensed mental health professional, helping recipients begin (or restart) care with dignity, privacy, and support.

What the Grant Covers?

• 4 counseling sessions with a licensed mental health provider (in-person or virtual).

• Flexibility to use your current therapist (if licensed) or get help finding a provider in-network with our partners.

• Payment handled by the foundation directly with the provider whenever possible, reducing out-of-pocket stress.

Note: The Anchor Grant does not cover medication, emergency care, inpatient treatment, or non-licensed services.

The Anchor Grant welcomes applications from people who:

• Are experiencing mental health concerns (e.g., anxiety, depression, grief/trauma, burnout, postpartum challenges, caregiver stress, chronic illness adjustment).

• Lack insurance or are under-insured and unable to afford therapy or co-pays.

• Are ready to engage in counseling and can attend four sessions within the grant window.

• Adults 18+ (youth may apply with a parent/guardian).

Our Commitment

We believe mental health care is essential; not optional. The Anchor Grant removes one of the biggest barriers to getting help: cost. With compassion, confidentiality, and care, we help you take the first steady steps toward healing.
