Jeff Yabuki, Long-Time Ceo Of Fiserv, Current Ceo Of Investcloud And Chairman Of Motive Partners, And Gail Yabuki Make $1 Million Donation To Project Healthy Minds, Mental Health Tech Non-Profit
New York, January 7, 2025 — In support of efforts to expand access to mental health services, former long-time CEO of Fiserv (NYSE: FI) and current CEO of InvestCloud and Chairman of Motive Partners, Jeff Yabuki and his wife, Gail, recently made a transformative $1 million donation to Project Healthy Minds, the trailblazing mental health tech non-profit. A member of the organization's Board of Directors, Jeff’s contribution reflects the Yabuki family’s deep personal commitment to expanding access to mental health services through innovative new approaches, driven by the heartbreaking loss of his brother to suicide in 2017.
Jeff Yabuki explained, “The scale and urgency of the mental health crisis demands bold, innovative new approaches that don't just move the needle — they change the trajectory of mental health in our country. What Project Healthy Minds is doing is transformational – expanding access to life-changing mental health services for every American by building the world’s first free digital mental health marketplace that connects people to the right mental health services when and where they need help. I couldn’t be prouder to support an organization doing such groundbreaking and impactful work.”
In recognition of their unwavering dedication to mental health, the Yabukis and The Yabuki Family Foundation, were honored on October 10, 2024 at Project Healthy Minds’ World Mental Health Day gala (hosted by Carson Daly of NBC’s “TODAY Show” and “The Voice”) with the prestigious "Humanitarian of the Year" Award. The second annual event also featured a performance by three-time Grammy winner Chance the Rapper, who was presented with the inaugural Project Healthy Minds Trailblazer of the Year Award; and Michael D. Ratner received the Storyteller of the Year Award for his pioneering documentaries with Demi Lovato, Justin Bieber, The Kid Laroi, and others widening the lens on mental health and contemporary culture.
Gail Yabuki shared: “As part of our philanthropic mission, we support several organizations in the mental health arena and are honored to be part of the Project Healthy Minds family – making care available and accessible when and where it's needed.”
Phil Schermer, CEO and Founder of Project Healthy Minds, stated: “Whether it’s Gail and Jeff’s work in Wisconsin via the Children’s Hospital, or nationally as a member of our Board of Directors, they are true forces of nature and role models who have inspired countless others to become engaged in this fight to address the mental health crisis.” This donation builds on Yabuki's long-standing nationally recognized advocacy for mental health. Previously, he spearheaded funding to Children’s Wisconsin in Milwaukee to integrate mental health providers into every primary care and urgent care practice across their system - setting a national example for integrating mental health access through healthcare.
