We’re getting closer, and it’s all thanks to you. 💜
Earlier this year, Prism United received a $10,000 grant through the Johnson Family Foundation–CenterLink: Mental Health Capacity-Building Initiative for the Prism Healing Fund. Our goal is to match that investment, turning $10,000 into $20,000 for free, affirming therapy for LGBTQ+ youth and young adults across our region.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our donors and everyone who purchased a Prism Pride Artist Showcase t-shirt, our community has now raised $6,901. Combined with the grant, we’ve reached $16,901 which is 84.5% of the way to our goal!
That means just $3,099 stands between us and expanding access to life-changing mental health care. Every dollar helps ensure that when a young person reaches out for support, cost isn’t what stands in the way.
If you’ve already given, thank you for believing in this work. If you’ve been meaning to donate, now is a great time to help us cross the finish line!
