Prioritizing Mental Well-Being in the Workplace
Online Donation Forms
A national organization dedicated to ensuring individuals living with mental illness are supported, understood, and treated. They work through advocacy, public awareness and education, and community outreach programs to help those suffering.
This group’s mission is to ensure that people affected by a mental health condition have access to treatment and recovery services, regardless of their ability to pay for them. They offer a variety of online resources for those seeking treatment and host events to encourage discussion and raise funds for mental health care.
This 501(c)3 nonprofit uses Donorbox to provide an online donation form for their supporters, making it easy for anyone to support their cause. They also hold a “Meets Standards” certification with the Charities Review Council, meaning they are committed to accountability and transparency in their financial activities. This includes the publication of their IRS 990 and annual financial audit statements. They also encourage donors to request copies of these documents from them upon request.
Supporting Mental Well-Being Through Donations
Sponsorships
Sponsorships provide the opportunity to promote mental health awareness and encourage donations supporting the Foundation’s Brought To Reality mission. This includes opportunities to sponsor a 5K, an annual awards dinner, or other special events.
Across the country, community and regional funders focus on programs that address mental illness and its consequences for youth, including substance abuse and suicide. Other areas of interest include education (family alma mater support, equitable educational access, and school choice), cultural community arts development, historical and educational museums, civics and history education, and programs fostering entrepreneurship.
USA invests in nonprofit organizations that have the potential to make a significant impact through programs that improve youth mental well-being. They also look for nonprofits that strive to support under-resourced communities with poor social determinants of health (SDOH). One example is their grant program, which provides mental health support to families whose children have been through a traumatic pediatric medical intervention such as a life-threatening illness or surgical procedure.
Donations
NVMHF is a nonprofit that provides grants to people with mental health conditions and promotes mental wellness. They keep their overhead costs low, and 95% of the money they receive goes directly to those in need. Their focus is on helping individuals with serious mental illness get treatment and recovery. They also support the B4Stage4 philosophy, which focuses on treating conditions long before progressing to the most critical stages, much like how cancer is treated.
Whether you’re interested in raising awareness on college campuses or funding research into cures for mental illnesses, many charities are working toward those goals. Consider their mission and transparency ratings to select the best one for you. The most successful charities have clear missions and objectives and work to make them a reality. Those are the ones worthy of your donations.
