host a fundraiser support mental health and suicide prevention within your community by helping raise funds with us.

A great way to support the MHF’s mission is by aiding the cost of our programming expenses through a fundraiser. You can go big or keep it small - whatever the outcome, we are grateful for your time and dedication to supporting mental health and suicide prevention.

3rd Party Event


We define a “third party fundraising event” as a fundraising activity created and run by a non-affiliated group or individual with no fiduciary responsibilities and very little to no involvement from the Foundation. These events can be jean days, car washes, sale percentages, sport outings, etc.

Micro Event


We define a “micro fundraising event” as a fundraising activity that is expected to raise more than $5,000 and is created and run with the assistance of one Foundation staff. Organizers of these events rely on resources, planning efforts, and on-site presence from staff for success.
