AE Foundation™ Grants $100K to Bring Change to Mind

On this World Mental Health Day, in celebration of the AE Foundation’s first anniversary, we are proud to award a $100,000 AE Foundation™ Signature Grant to Bring Change to Mind, a nonprofit that works to end stigma and discrimination surrounding mental illness. American Eagle and the AE Foundation, together with our customers, have donated over $1.7 million since partnering with Bring Change to Mind in 2021!

Funding from the AE Foundation™ will support the 10th anniversary of Bring Change to Mind’s High School program by directly funding 50 clubs during the 2025–2026 school year, engaging around 2,500 students and reaching over 80,000 through campus-wide mental health initiatives. This investment will empower students to lead mental health advocacy efforts and foster more inclusive, supportive school environments. Our grant is made possible by American Eagle and generous donations from the AE fam!
