May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and it's the perfect time to raise funds for different initiatives surrounding mental health. As a crowdfunding platform dedicated to sharing hope with others, we know how important it is not just to meet people’s material needs, but also their emotional, spiritual, and mental needs as well. 

With that said, here are some different initiatives you can raise funds for during Mental Health Awareness Month:

Mental health resources: Many people who struggle with mental health issues lack access to affordable resources and support. By raising funds for mental health resources, you can help provide access to counseling, therapy, and other mental health services.

Education and advocacy: Education and advocacy are essential for reducing the stigma surrounding mental health issues and encouraging people with those struggles to get the help and support they need. You can raise funds for mental health education programs, awareness campaigns, and advocacy initiatives that work to change the way society views mental health. Maybe you know some organizations that could really use your donation to continue developing their programs.

Mental health research: Mental health research is critical for developing new treatments and improving the lives of people who struggle with mental health issues. You can raise funds for mental health research organizations that are dedicated to advancing our understanding of mental health.

Suicide prevention: Suicide is often a tragic consequence of untreated mental health issues, and it's important to raise funds for suicide prevention initiatives. You can raise funds for organizations with suicide prevention hotlines, support groups, and other resources that help save lives.

Raising funds for these various initiatives can create a profound impact on those who are struggling with mental health issues. With the help of GiveSendGo, you can easily fundraise for organizations that support these causes, or even launch your own initiatives. By sharing your mission with others, you can inspire them to contribute through their prayers and giving. With GiveSendGo, you have the opportunity to share hope and make a significant difference during Mental Health Awareness Month.



 

Hey there, friends! Summer’s just around the corner!  Picture this: you're sitting by the campfire, roasting marshmallows and swapping stories with your new friends. The stars are twinkling overhead, and the only sounds you can hear are the gentle rustling of leaves and the occasional hoot of an owl. This is the magic of summer camp, and with GiveSendGo, your kids can experience it for themselves. So, it's time to pack their bags and send them off to camp! Whether they’re a seasoned camper or a first-timer, there's nothing quite like spending your days in the great outdoors, making new friends, and creating unforgettable memories. (You may have your own memories of going to summer camp as a child and want them to have those same experiences too!)  Whether you're looking to send them to a traditional sleepaway camp, church camp, sports camp, or art camp, there's no shortage of options out there. But we all know that attending summer camp can be expensive, which is why so many turn to GiveSendGo to help raise the funds needed to make that summer camp dream and reality.  So, what are you waiting for? It's time to start your fundraising journey today on GiveSendGo! Set up your campaign and set a goal amount. Maybe have your child tell you the top three things they can’t wait to experience at summer camp and include those reasons in your 300-500 word campaign description!  Once you’ve published your campaign, share it with your friends, family, and church members! It’s the people closest to you and your family who are most likely to give to your campaign.And with any funds left over you can help pay for one of their friends to go to summer camp, or turn it into a scholarship for a kid at church who can’t afford to go!  When your child comes home they’ll be bursting with stories about all the fun activities they did, lessons they learned, and friends they made! (They may also come home with a bit of sunburn and exceptionally smelly clothes).  Encourage your child to write thank you notes (whether handwritten or directly from your GiveSendGo campaign page) with their stories in response to each giver. People will love to hear what your child was able to experience while away at summer camp because of their generosity! Hearing how people are blessing others and making a difference by using GiveSendGo certainly makes us happy campers!
