Yes! When you register using an Active Minds online fundraising page, you’ll have a customizable page and link to share with your network on-and-off line

We will also share tools and templates to help you get started, as well as mental health facts and resources throughout your fundraising efforts. We’ve got a dedicated community fundraising team that can also consult and assist you – someone from Active Minds will reach out once you’ve created your page!

Once you’ve registered, you will receive our Active Minds Fundraising Kit with templates, social media graphics, sample email messages, text messages, and more!

Yes! Since Active Minds is a registered 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization, donations are tax-deductible within the guidelines of U.S. law. All donations made through your fundraising page will include an official donation receipt. We’ll send it to the donor directly upon successful completion of their donation.

While we would love to attend all events, we cannot guarantee that staff members will be available due to additional commitments and the important mental health work we are doing nationwide. If you’d like to request attendance, please do ask, but we like to be upfront that it is unlikely that we can attend.

Active Minds cannot provide direct funding or reimbursement for expenses related to community fundraising events. Event organizers are responsible for the organization, operation, and control of the event, including all costs incurred.

As you plan your event, you may want to develop a budget that accounts for these costs and collect some funds that help pay for these expenses. There are also many ways to limit event-related costs, such as securing in-kind donations or support from local businesses.

The Active Minds team would be happy to discuss further. More information can also be found in our Fundraising Resources Guide.

There are some services we are unable to provide fundraisers, including:

• Our sales tax exemption number
• Insurance or liability coverage
• A mailing list of donors and/or vendors
• Funding or reimbursement of your expenses
• Soliciting sponsorship revenue for your fundraiser
• Guaranteed publicity (e.g. newspaper, radio, television)
• Guaranteed attendance of staff or members of an Active Minds Chapter at your Event

More information about these limitations can also be found in our Fundraising Resources Guide.
