Two Circles.
One Herd.
The Heard Foundation is guided by a dedicated Board of Directors and uplifted by our Herd Ambassadors — a vibrant community of volunteers and champions who bring our mission to life every day. Together, they shape our direction, strengthen our impact, and help ensure no parent walks this journey alone.

These leaders ensure every initiative honors the memory of Cora, Dawson, and Callan while advancing support for families affected by perinatal mood and anxiety disorders.
