Your donation will go toward grants that provide free or low-cost therapy to those in the LGBTQ+ community that are suffering from severe depression and suicidal tendencies, and cannot afford the help they need to survive and thrive. Oftentimes insurance companies and government assistance programs fail in times of crisis. The Alana Faith Chen Foundation fills the gap so no one is left without a safe place to heal.

1. AFCF opens up therapy grant applications to our partners who are licensed mental health professionals that are trained in queer-affirming therapy.

2. The therapist works with their client to apply for an AFCF therapy grant.

3. AFCF reviews therapy grants within 48 hours.

4. A therapy grant is then approved for a minimum of 6 months of weekly therapy. Grants can be considered for renewal at the 6 month mark.

5. We promise our grantees to be there for the entire length of their journey, until they can afford to pay for therapeutic services themselves.
