We’re on a mission to change the world — and we’re just crazy enough to believe we can.
With your help, we will.

We engineer systems that remember what it means to be human.

The Brignola Foundation is a 501c3 trauma-informed, disability-led nonprofit creating self-sustaining sanctuary ecosystems that connect healing, innovation, and community leadership.

The Brignola Foundation is more than a nonprofit—it’s part of a larger ecosystem that integrates people, policy, and technology to build systems that heal rather than harm.
We are currently in the development and partnership phase, building collaborations that will launch our first sanctuary site and youth mentorship program in North Carolina.

Led by women and people with lived experience, our mission is to reimagine what care looks like when it’s embedded into communities—not outsourced to systems.
