About Peg’s
Peg’s is a philanthropic organization in Hudson, Ohio dedicated to improving the lives of people affected by serious mental illness. Guided by our founder’s call to Think Bigger, Peg’s advances innovative solutions, strengthens systems of care, and fosters community connection.
Founder & Legacy
Peg Morgan believed recovery should be expected, not exceptional.
Her lived experience shaped a bold vision: reduce stigma, elevate voices, and build systems that work.
Today, Peg’s carries that vision forward, advancing innovation, strengthening partnerships, and expanding what is possible for people living with serious mental illness.
Leadership
Strong governance protects a strong mission.
Peg’s Board and leadership team steward resources with discipline, transparency, and long-term focus. Every decision is grounded in accountability and guided by our commitment to improving lives through thoughtful, responsible action.
Advancing a Stronger System
Improving lives requires more than intention. It takes clarity, collaboration, and sustained leadership. Peg’s convenes leaders, invests in bold solutions, and helps move the mental health field toward a higher standard of care.
Think Bigger
Peg believed philanthropy could do more than fund programs. It could challenge assumptions, elevate new ideas, and strengthen systems that were falling short.
That belief still guides Peg’s today. We invest in practical innovation, support evidence-informed models, and convene leaders who are ready to improve how mental health care is delivered.
Our mission remains clear: to improve the lives of people with serious mental illness.
We envision a world where all regard mental wellness as an integral part of a healthy life and where recovery from mental illness is the expectation.
Relationships are at the heart of everything we do at Peg`s, and impact partners like Active Minds are essential to our mission.
For the last 15 years, we’ve been proud to support Alison Malmon and the work of @Active_Minds as they’ve changed the conversation around mental health for youth and young adults across the country.
Now, through the @weareenough campaign, we’re proud to help elevate the conversation further, reminding people everywhere: You are enough, just as you are. 💚

The college years are a critical time for mental health. That’s why Peg’s has partnered with @kentstate for more than 20 years to strengthen the systems, workforce, and community support students need to thrive on campus and beyond. 💙🩺

When the world is small and the mission is big, beautiful things happen. 💛
A spontaneous visit from a friend at @inspiringchildren turned into a soulful conversation, a campus tour, and a chance to go deeper on the passion that drives the work of both foundations.

These bracelets carry a big message. 💚
It`s Mental Health Awareness Month, and our team is wearing @weareenough bracelets. The ENOUGH campaign was founded by @blakemycoskie with one core belief: our worth is inherent. Not earned. We are enough simply because we exist.
For us, standing alongside Dan Hampu, President and CEO of Burton D. Morgan Foundation isn`t a coincidence. Peg and Burt Morgan married, raised a family together, and each built a foundation in Hudson, Ohio—one dedicated to behavioral health and the other to entrepreneurship. ENOUGH is where our two missions finally meet, and this intersection is timely and relevant.
Research shows that 88% of entrepreneurs struggle with at least one mental health issue—and they are 2x more likely to experience depression and 3x more likely to struggle with substance abuse. ENOUGH was built by an entrepreneur who lived this, to challenge the hustle culture that drives it. Its vehicle for change is the impact partners it supports.
ENOUGH donates 100% of its profits to mental health organizations, with a commitment to donate $3M over the next three years—including to @active_minds and @namicommunicate, two of our own longtime partners. Active Minds was our first national grantee and NAMI is the organization that helped our founder`s son on his path toward recovery.
For us, wearing the ENOUGH bracelets, connecting with Burton D. Morgan Foundation on a shared purpose, and celebrating two of our impact partners in the process is a full circle moment 25 years in the making.
