Created in 2020 by Rare Beauty Founder and Creator Selena Gomez, the Rare Impact Fund’s mission is to mobilize $100 million for organizations expanding access to youth mental health services and education globally. Since its inception, the Rare Impact Fund has raised over $20 million and supports 30 organizations across five continents, expanding access to mental health services and education for young people.
“Five years ago, we launched the Rare Impact Fund with a simple goal: to help more young people around the world feel seen, supported, and cared for. Our partners like Sephora are instrumental to pursue our mission and by contributing crucial funds to expand mental health resources for the young people who need them. For the third year in a row, we are excited to continue our impactful fundraising efforts with Sephora, one of our greatest donors who share our belief in this mission and understand the need to expand mental health resources to young people around the world,” said Selena Gomez, Founder and Creator of Rare Beauty and the Rare Impact Fund.
“We are thrilled to extend our partnership for the third year,” said Jenny Cheah, Managing Director, Southeast Asia, Oceania and India, Sephora. “Sephora is deeply committed to fostering a more inclusive world in beauty, a vision shared by Rare Beauty. In Asia-Pacific, where mental health conditions disproportionately impact the population, we believe in the profound positive influence that feeling beautiful can bring. The “Make A Rare Impact” campaign underscores our shared dedication to creating a supportive beauty environment, and we invite our Sephora community to join us in making a difference!”
Leveraging Sephora’s global reach, the campaign will be run in 25 markets where Sephora operates, including Australia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong SAR, Italy, India, Mexico, New Zealand, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States, including Kohl’s network.
In 2024, Sephora’s 2023 donation specifically enabled Rare Impact Fund’s nonprofit partners to collectively reach more than two million people with 445 mental health resources developed and disbursed.
Elyse Cohen, Chief Impact Officer at Rare Beauty, and President of the Rare Impact Fund shared, “Our continued partnership with Sephora on the “Make A Rare Impact” campaign reflects a shared belief in the power of collective action. With their support, and through the work of our dedicated nonprofit partners, the Rare Impact Fund has reached over one million young people each year and supported nearly 3,000 schools and organizations around the world. This campaign is a clear example of what’s possible when brands, nonprofits and communities come together — not just to raise awareness, but to expand access and build lasting support for youth mental health.”
