Each year 44,965 Americans die by suicide. Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the US. Given recent events, we wanted to highlight some ways you can be a part of suicide prevention through giving and volunteering. The RaisedBy.Us Suicide Prevention Fund below consists of five national non-profits that are leading the way for suicide prevention. Your donation through your Bright Funds account will be split evenly between these organizations.

Every year in May, Mental Health Awareness Month provides a dedicated time to raise awareness about the realities of individuals living with mental illness and ways to manage and achieve mental wellness, while promoting early detection in our youth. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on the mental health of people of all ages. In November 2020, the CDC reported that 44% of Americans were coping with either depression or anxiety, and our communities continue to feel those effects today. Now, more than ever, it is critical to reduce the stigma around mental health struggles -- because that stigma often prevents individuals from seeking help. Bright Funds has established the Mental Health Awareness Month Fund composed of pre-vetted nonprofits committed to raising mental health awareness. Through a single donation to the Fund, you will support a group of nonprofits that are providing direct services, conducting research, and educating the masses in order to challenge myths, biases, and discrimination about what mental health is - and what it is not. The composition of nonprofits in this fund is subject to change.
