That’s why a generous donor is matching every gift until December 31, up to $100,000. Now is the moment to help young people before they are in crisis.

Please give today and your gift will be matched, dollar for dollar.

Your matched gift will help:

  • Bring mental health programs to entire school districts
  • Give students access to life-saving resources
  • Transform how schools prioritize student mental health
