Where your money goes

Every fundraiser helps remove a barrier to care

When insurance, cost, or a lack of local providers keeps someone from mental health treatment, the funds you raise help The MindBridge Health step in. Your appeal can help cover psychiatric care, prescribed medication, evaluations, or funded care through a qualified local provider.

Online self-serve fundraising pages are being set up. Until they are live, we help each organizer plan and collect gifts manually.

  • Charitable assistance toward approved care from independent providers
  • Medication assistance for eligible participants
  • Funded care through qualified local mental health providers
  • Evaluations and assessments made accessible

What a gift may help with

  • May help cover all or part of a psychiatric evaluation.$300
  • May help fund a medication-management appointment.$150
  • May help offset eligible prescribed medication costs.$50
  • May help pay for an approved therapy or mental health appointment through a local provider.$150
  • May help support multiple appointments or a period of ongoing care.$600

Illustrative ways a gift may help; these amounts do not guarantee any service or coverage. Actual provider rates and approved assistance vary by need, program rules and available funding.
