lululemon Gives is excited to welcome its 2026 Community Wellbeing Grant cohort of 80 inspiring organizations dedicated to advancing wellbeing through movement and mindfulness.
Across 17 markets worldwide, this year’s cohort is making meaningful impact on the growing global challenges of mental health, loneliness, and physical inactivity. While each organization is shaped by the distinct needs of its communities, together they show the collective power of supporting locally led solutions.
This year’s grantees are supporting wellbeing around the world by expanding access to movement, strengthening mental health, and fostering connection. Here are just a few examples of how our grantees plan to use our funding to deliver impact:
- BC Wheelchair Sports in Vancouver, BC, Canada, will expand inclusive wheelchair sport programming, aiming to reach nearly 2,000 individuals.
- Sati Foundation in Bangkok, Thailand, will support the mental health and wellbeing of underserved and at-risk youth through mindfulness-based workshops, counseling, and movement practices, engaging an estimated 2,000 young people.
- Shanghai Dialogue in the Dark Service Center in China will expand access to its Dark Runners’ Club for runners who are visually impaired, and to inclusive movement activities that promote social inclusion, aiming to reach more than 2,000 people through this funding.
- Still I Run in Hudsonville, Michigan, will expand access to running as a tool for mental health, reaching an estimated 5,000 people. Funding will contribute to a free Mental Health Runner Program, supporting individuals in taking their first steps toward better mental health through movement.
- Women in Tri UK will deliver up to 30 free or low-cost swim, bike, and run sessions in underserved regions—welcoming more than 150 women new to movement and expanding equitable access to sport, confidence, and community.
Nearly 3,000 organizations around the world applied for the 2026 Community Wellbeing Grant. The selected cohort collectively received more than $3 million USD in grant funding.
“There’s incredible momentum behind this year’s new cohort of grantees, whose work is helping people build meaningful connections and incorporate movement and mindfulness in their everyday lives,” said Anne Wintroub, Head of Social Impact and Engagement, lululemon. “We’re proud to support these organizations around the world as they respond directly to the unique needs of their communities.”
