Strengthening Our Impact in San Mateo County

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Strengthening Our Impact in San Mateo County

Burlingame, CA — November 19, 2025

SolMateo is delighted to announce an exciting new chapter in its commitment to mental

health services across San Mateo County. Following a thoughtful and rigorous process

led by the Nonprofit Selection Committee—and affirmed by a vote of the General

Membership—SolMateo is proud to launch an expanded grant-making strategy that

strengthens its impact throughout the community.

SolMateo will continue its longstanding support for the Mental Health Association of

San Mateo County (MHA) while officially welcoming two new partners: Family

Connections and National Alliance on Mental Illness San Mateo County (NAMI SMC).

This balanced approach allows SolMateo to:

• Deepen support for individuals living with serious mental illness (MHA)

• Expand early intervention and prevention efforts for families (Family Connections)

• Strengthen advocacy and peer support across the county (NAMI SMC)

Together, these partnerships create a more comprehensive continuum of mental health

care—from birth through adulthood.

Community members are invited to learn more about the incredible work of these three

organizations and celebrate this milestone at SolMateo’s Holiday Auction & Luncheon

on Friday, December 5. This special event will highlight the expanded partnerships and

the future of SolMateo.
