Transforming Digital Media for Children’s Mental Health
The Mindful Media Foundation (MMF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to revolutionizing how children ages 0–12 engage with digital media—promoting healthier screen habits, holistic development, and stronger family connections.
Through our venture philanthropy model, we invest in innovative solutions, catalyze critical research, and support aligned organizations to build a healthier digital future for the next generation.
In today’s screen-dominated world, excessive device use is placing children at risk for anxiety, depression, and unhealthy media habits. By the time they become teenagers:
8x more likely to have depression.
9x more likely to have anxiety.
14x more likely to have both depression and anxiety.
We’re witnessing a crisis unlike anything seen before—and it begins long before the teenage years.
