Simms/Mann Institute & Foundation Information

The Simms/Mann Institute and Family Foundation accelerate research and develop and support innovative programs that address the whole person - mind, body, and spirit. We focus on three core areas: education, health & wellness, and art & culture. Understanding that the first years of life form the basis for lifelong health, we make early child development research and practices accessible to families and communities. We also develop and support projects to improve the physical, mental, and spiritual well-being of diverse populations. Throughout our work, we focus on an integrative, holistic, transdisciplinary approach.
