A Good Investment

When you support The Jed Foundation (JED), your gift has an incredible impact on teens and young adults. They receive emotional support, connectedness, and the skills and perspective to put their own mental health first. 

We take stewardship of your gift very seriously. JED has consistently received four-star ratings from Charity Navigator. Attaining a four-star rating is the highest possible rating and means that JED “exceeds industry standards … adheres to sector best practices, and executes its mission in a financially efficient way.” It also demonstrates JED’s commitment to accountability and stewardship of donor contributions. 

JED is also a Gold-level participant in GuideStar, demonstrating our commitment to transparency, and an accredited charity with the Better Business Bureau.  

Your support directly impacts millions of young people. It helps JED be a lifeline for teens and young adults nationwide and lead the way in suicide prevention.

With your gift, we’re able to build the safety net that supports students before they reach a crisis. Whether it’s through mental health screenings, early intervention, or helping schools create a culture of care, you give young people a place to turn when life feels overwhelming.
