Supporting community-based activism for mental health and human rights...
Through grant-making and education, the
Martín-Baró Fund supports progressive, grassroots groups throughout the world who are challenging institutional repression and confronting the mental health consequences of violence and injustice in their communities. For information about the projects we have funded over the past sixteen years,

The Martín-Baró Fund was established to honor the memory of Father Ignacio Martín-Baró, a Jesuit priest, activist, and social psychologist who was murdered in El Salvador in 1989, and to further the goals to which he dedicated his life.
“The challenge is not limited to addressing the destruction and disorders caused by war. The challenge is to construct a new person in a new society."
-- Ignacio Martín-Baró
