Give · Econa · A Social Impact Initiative
Entrepreneurs carry a mental health burden with risks that no one screens for. Your gift keeps FounderScreen and the science free — so support reaches an entrepreneur before they hit a wall and derail.
Keep FounderScreen free for every entrepreneur.
Entrepreneurs report markedly higher rates of stress, anxiety, burnout, and mental health issues than managers, employees, and the general population. People with jobs have health insurance and EAPs, yet many entrepreneurs are uninsured, most never get screened, and almost none get support early enough to matter. The result is a quiet, costly mental health burden carried alone. And when entrepreneurs suffer, their families, employees, customers, suppliers, channel partners and investors suffer too. Your contribution is highly leveraged because of this massive ripple effect.
Econa exists to change that. We're a social impact public benefit company, making evidence-based resilience and mental health support free for every entrepreneur — starting with the validated Entrepreneur Wellbeing Check. The core screening and personalized solutions stay free for everyone, and donations are what hold that door open. When you give, you're not funding overhead — you're keeping free screening and support available for the next entrepreneur who needs it.
Entrepreneurs create value for all of us because of their mental health differences. FounderScreen donors create value and a much needed safety net for these same entrepreneurs.
Your Impact
Every dollar moves entrepreneur support upstream — from crisis to early, evidence-based care.
Here's where your generosity goes.
Your gift keeps FounderScreen open to every entrepreneur — no paywall, no insurance, no barrier. Seven evidence-based questions, confidential results, and a clear next step, available to anyone who needs it.
Your gift keeps free screening and personalized support reaching every entrepreneur who needs it — turning a screening result into a clear next step, with guidance for emotion regulation, resilience, and recovery.
Support our research on critical entrepreneur mental health issues including trauma and intervention effectiveness — peer-reviewed science on how entrepreneurs actually fare under pressure. This work deepens the screening, sharpens the support, advances the field, and outlives any single grant cycle.
Help us bring the EWC to entrepreneurs who'd never find it otherwise — across cities, cohorts, and communities that have no entrepreneur mental health infrastructure at all. Wider reach means more people supported, sooner.

Econa’s flagship program for VC firms — a one-year program for your platform leaders and venture partners, with confidential screening and unlimited free access to FounderScreen for every portfolio founder. Cohort 1 applications are open, from $10,000 to $30,000 per firm. A program fee rather than a charitable gift; explore it on our Partner With Us page.
Foundations and donor-advised funds can power free screening at scale. We welcome multi-year grant collaborations aligned with mental health, entrepreneurship, and economic-development missions.
Econa is a public benefit company, and your donation is tax deductible to the extent allowable by law through MarinArts, the 501(c)(3) fiscal sponsor of universal free access to the FounderScreen Initiative, which receipts your contribution on Econa's behalf. You'll receive an acknowledgment for your records after you give.
Universal free access to the Econa FounderScreen Initiative is a fiscally sponsored project of MarinArts, a California non-profit corporation exempt from federal tax under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service #47-2571336.
Organizations can sponsor an Econa learning lab dedicated to a specific community of entrepreneurs — for example women entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs of color, immigrant entrepreneurs, or Autism-spectrum entrepreneurs. Your sponsorship puts your name behind purpose-built resources for the entrepreneurs you care about, and helps build the science and tools Econa develops.
Please note: Learning labs are developed and managed by Econa, a public benefit for-profit entity that owns the related intellectual property. These programs and projects are funded by marketing and sponsorship budgets and other revenue streams — not from tax-deductible charitable donations. A lab sponsorship is not a charitable, tax-deductible gift. (Donations on this page fund free screening and support only.)
One entrepreneur, screened and supported in time, can change everything. Your gift makes that possible — for the next one, and the next.
