About Memorial Funds

Proceeds from Memorial Funds benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), the leading national not-for-profit organization exclusively dedicated to understanding and preventing suicide through research, education and advocacy, and to reaching out to people with mental disorders and those impacted by suicide.

FUNDRAISE TO HONOR LOVED ONES

Suicide is a public health issue that does not discriminate by age, gender, ethnicity, or socio- economic status, and it takes an enormous toll on family, friends, co-workers, and the entire community. AFSP provides opportunities for survivors of suicide loss to get involved through a wide variety of educational, outreach, awareness, advocacy and fundraising programs.

A contribution to AFSP is a good investment! More than 82 cents of every dollar you raise can be used to:

  • Funding scientific research
  • Educating the public about mental health and suicide prevention
  • Advocating for public policies in mental health and suicide prevention
  • Supporting survivors of suicide loss and those affected by suicide in our mission

Please visit the Programs and Research sections of our website or download AFSP's Annual Report and learn more about how the funds you raise make a difference.

The importance of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s mission has never been greater, nor its work more urgent.
