MISSION

The Bowman Family Foundation (“BFF”) is a private foundation qualifying as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The primary mission of BFF is to improve the lives of people with mental health and substance use ("MH/SU") conditions. BFF also provides funding to support the education and welfare of children.

​

BFF is the Managing Member of the Mental Health Treatment and Research Institute LLC (“MHTARI”), a tax-exempt subsidiary of BFF which conducts most BFF activities regarding MH/SU conditions. 

​

MHTARI provides funding to support projects, reports and the development of materials and tools related to:

​

1. Improving health equity – e.g., access to MH/SU treatment for people who receive inadequate or no care due to financial or other barriers

2. Improving the effectiveness and availability of digital health "apps" intended to help people with MH/SU conditions

​

BFF and MHTARI do not, themselves, provide or evaluate treatments or conduct clinical trials.
