3. Increase Your Reach

By now, you probably have a good idea of what type of action you’d like to take.  But how can you expand your action to include your community?  Well, we find that simply asking usually works best.  Seriously, people love to help out great causes.  Tell them why you’re passionate about mental health and ask them to join your team!

Here are a few ways to connect with your crew:

  • Use one of our social media templates to get the word out

  • How about using one of these email blurbs?

  • And nothing beats face-2-face or phone conversation

Of course, we are here to support you too.  We’d be happy to supply you with more ideas, resources and tools to make it happen!

We’re so grateful for your efforts and can’t wait to see how we can continue to grow together!

P.S. If you choose to create a page, we’ll send you a series of messages to help you become a fundraising rockstar.  And don’t worry, we’ll be here with you every step of the way!

 

By fundraising, you can help NoStigmas continue sponsoring more positive action for mental health & suicide awareness. This creates a ripple effect which extends beyond your actions and towards a future with NoStigmas.

How do I get started?

Visit our fundraising page to learn how to create your own page and maximize your impact. If you’d like to fundraise in a specific way, let us know! You can also learn how we’ll use the donated dollars to expand our mission of ensuring that no one faces mental illness or suicide alone.

Where does the money go?

In 2015 we served a community of nearly 50,000 individuals on a budget of $55,000.  That means it costs just $1.10 per person to run our awareness and support programs.  Basically, we know how to stretch a dollar.. and ten cents!

What fundraising tools will I have?

As a public charity, we exist to serve our community and that includes you!  We'd be happy to provide a fundraising page, coaching and materials to support your efforts.   Just email elizabeth@nostigmas.org with your ideas and let's see what we can create together.
