Preventing youth suicide starts with all of us.

JED Foundation Giving Day 2026

On September 30, our community came together for JED’s Giving Day to show that protecting young people can’t wait. We’re not quite at our goal, so our match is extended through midnight tonight, October 1.

Join us today. Your gift will still be matched, dollar for dollar, and have twice the impact on youth suicide prevention.
