Introducing Rare Eau de Parfum our first fine fragrance, crafted to capture the essence of a perfect moment. Warm and decadent with a touch of spice, this eau de parfum opens with notes of creamy caramel and pistachio, gives way to intoxicating vanilla infused with peppery ginger, and then dries down to earthy sandalwood. Designed with accessibility in mind, the luxe, ergonomic bottle features an easy-to-use pump.

Five years ago today – on my birthday – I launched the Rare Impact Fund with one goal: to help young people feel seen, supported, and cared for. Mental health is a cause that’s deeply personal to me, and I knew we had the opportunity to create something that could drive real, lasting change. Since then, we’ve reached over 2 million young people globally and supported 30 incredible nonprofit organizations delivering mental health services and education where it’s needed most. But this is just the beginning. To celebrate this milestone, we’re launching the Rare Impact Fund Giving Circle – where people can come together, pool their resources, and support organizations doing life-changing work. It’s about believing in the power of community to create lasting change. If you’re passionate about mental health and want to help us shape what’s next, we’d love to have you join us. Let’s build a future where every young person has the mental health support they deserve. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/ePWiPCGc

On the first day of the Rare Impact Fund Grantee Capacity Building Workshop, participants and facilitators engaged in a powerful discussion surrounding the challenges of the sector, and the realities of the mental health landscape. Experts like, clinical psychologist and longtime policy advocate Benjamin Miller and Dr. Harold S. Koplewicz of the Child Mind Institute helped frame the current state of philanthropy and mental health—highlighting both the urgent needs and opportunities. With guidance from social impact strategist Jorge Alvarez and Hayley Mead of ICONIQ Impact, our partners explored strategies to adapt to an ever-changing world. Together, they helped illuminate the scale of the mental health crisis, the gaps in care, and the role we all play in reshaping systems. We then turned our focus inward, examining how nonprofit leaders can recalibrate during uncertain times. Led by Christine Chen, of La Piana Consulting, this session offered participants a framework for navigating strategic pivots with clarity and confidence. From funding changes to team capacity and long-term planning, partners had the space to name the hard stuff—and the tools to take it on. And in the final session, Maria Choi and Chun Yee Y. of Raise for Good guided a focused discussion on nonprofit fundraising. The pair spoke to participants about how organizations can implement resilient funding models through diversification, donor storytelling, and a values-based strategy.    The day ended with something just as essential: rest and reflection. Teya Knapp, Moradeyo Adeyi, LCSW, and Jasmine Dayze of A Safe Space facilitated a community support circle. A chance to exhale, connect, and remind us that tending to our well-being is just important as the work itself. As day one of the convening came to a close, a common theme emerged: real progress is built through connection. These sessions offered space to step back, ask hard questions, and consider new ways forward. With honesty and shared purpose, we left the room a little clearer and more equipped to keep doing the work that matters.  We’re deeply grateful to each speaker, facilitator, and partner for helping us start this gathering with honesty, clarity, and care.
