Other People Fund:
Other People Fund began in 2021 as a way to connect more people to the Other People
they should be seeing: therapists. At Other People Fund, we believe everyone can benefit
from therapy. We also know that it’s not accessible for everyone. Those who seek
therapy should be able to receive it. That's where we come in.
Every purchase from Other People Fund helps offset the cost of
therapy for someone who needs it.
We donate all Other People Fund proceeds to our partner organization: Support for the
Psyche Inc. Support for the Psyche accepts applications for therapy aid and works
directly with therapy providers to cover the cost of up to three sessions per applicant.
