Thiru Family Trust Momentum Maker Grant
Addressing health disparities to protect mental health in Arizona
The Thiru Family Trust Momentum Maker Grant (Momentum Maker) was created to inspire new paths to mental health and well-being in Arizona. Each year, we identify a specific area of mental health-related need and award a single Momentum Maker grant to address that need. Momentum Maker funding helps grantees build capacity, innovate, test proof of concept, or expand early-stage projects.
4th Trimester Arizona
2025 Grantee
For 2025, the Momentum Maker grant focused on maternal mental health. 4th Trimester Arizona, a Phoenix-based nonprofit providing expectant and new parents with resources, events, and educational opportunities, received $100,000 for their “It Takes a Village” project. 4th Trimester meets families where they are, showing up with care, compassion, and real connection.
Programming will:
- Train and certify 30 community-based doulas to support families during pregnancy and postpartum.
- Serve populations that are often underrepresented in maternal care and support systems.
- Support more than 1,800 Arizona families across five years.
This meaningful investment will impact Arizona families for generations to come, expanding access to the kind of care that creates change, and that’s exactly the kind of impact we’re proud to invest in.
Funding changemaking ideas. Uplifting mental health.
The Thiru Family Trust Momentum Maker Grant (Momentum Maker) was established in 2023 thanks to a generous gift from the Thiru Family Trust. Momentum Maker embodies our shared passion for inspiring new paths to mental health and well-being in Arizona.
