Everyone can be a philanthropist

Video: Excellence CEO Gina Nikkel, PhDPhilanthropy…what’s the first thing you think of? “I don’t have that kind of money to give away” or “they’re not talking to me”.

 

phi·lan·thro·py, noun: the effort to increase the well-being of humankind.

Yes, we are talking to you!

Here at the Foundation for Excellence in Mental Health Care we are committed to connecting the passion of private philanthropy (YOUR passion to make the world a better place) with the world’s best researchers and programs to bring recovery practices to every community. You are essential to bringing the hope and tools for mental health recovery to people living in despair and confusion.

This past summer, you answered the call to action by giving dollars towards our matching grant to buy the financial management software we need to grow. This year, you gave to infrastructure, recovery programs, and research projects and took part in educating yourselves and others through our on-line classes or symposia to further our mission. Thank you for your response! Collectively we have proven we can make progress!

As you begin to plan your end-of-year giving, here is what we still need to take us into 2016:

  • 6 donors at $115,000
  • Or 85 donors at $8050
  • Or 857 donors at $805
  • Or 8,571 donors at $80.50
  • Or for you to have a house party and invite one of our staff to make a presentation to your friends and target one of the amounts as a group.

You can also help change the world by sharing this newsletter with your friends, family, and co-workers and ask them to subscribe to our newsletter online at MentalHealthExcellence.org. Like us on Facebook and Twitter and consider becoming an EXCELLENCE donor.

Drop us a note at [email protected]. We would love to hear from you.

Thank you for being part of the EXCELLENCE family!

Gina Nikkel
President/CEO
