Mission
To make a population-level impact by reaching young people on the digital platforms they use every day, using technology and evidence-based tools to reduce suffering and promote flourishing for millions of people, especially underserved youth.
Program accomplishments
- Single Session InterventionsKoko's Single-Session Interventions (SSIs) are brief, structured, evidence-based mental health exercises designed to help individuals manage distress and access immediate support. Delivered through simple, self-guided online experiences that typically take less than 10 minutes to complete, these interventions are accessible without requiring login, sign-up, or transfer of personal data, reducing barriers to care for young people in need of support. During the year, Koko's SSIs addressed a range of mental health needs, including mental health first aid skills, mood regulation, cognitive reframing, body image and body neutrality, self-harm coping, and personalized safety planning. These interventions served as an early support bridge, helping users de-escalate distress, build practical coping skills, and connect to the appropriate level of care. In addition to measurable outcomes, the program's achievements included expanding access to evidence-based mental health support in a low-friction format, offering immediate help at moments of need, and strengthening users' sense of agency, resilience, and readiness to seek further support.Expenses $432,085 · revenue $16,667
- Peer to Peer SupportKoko's peer support platform enables users to exchange short, anonymous messages of support, creating a safe and accessible space where young people can both receive encouragement and help others in moments of distress. Grounded in the belief that helping others can also support one's own healing, the platform fosters connection, empathy, and community at scale. During the year, this program represented the majority of Koko's overall reach and impact, serving as a core entry point for individuals seeking mental health support. In addition to its measurable reach, the platform created meaningful moments of human connection that helped users feel seen, supported, and less alone. The program also advanced Koko's broader mission by strengthening access to timely emotional support, informing continued platform development, and contributing to a vision for more personalized pathways that connect young people to the most appropriate forms of care.Expenses $415,340
- Partner Implementation and DeliveryKoko's partner implementation and delivery program expands access to free, evidence-based mental health support by embedding its interventions directly into the digital platforms and online spaces where young people already spend time. Through partnerships with social platforms, online communities, state initiatives, and research and education institutions, Koko extends the reach of its single-session interventions and peer support tools to broad and diverse audiences. During the year, the organization advanced this work through both ongoing and project-based collaborations, supporting direct service access, tailored implementation, and the continued development of scalable mental health support infrastructure. This program furthered Koko's exempt purpose by increasing the availability of timely, accessible support in high-need digital environments, strengthening collaboration across sectors, and laying the groundwork for more integrated care pathways that connect young people to the most appropriate forms of support.Expenses $259,588
