I have a close friend who received a grant from this organization to expand his research on childhood depression. Donations go directly to grantees, since administration/overhead is taken care of by a generous benefactor. Small contributors like me are treated with the same respect and appreciation as major donors and the literature I receive from the BBRF describes in great detail the many research projects that are giving family members and sufferers of brain disorders hope for a better life.
The work they do is of critical importance. I long for the day when my loved ones can be cured of the horrible diseases (bipolar, anxiety, and schizophrenia) which have ruined their lives. The Brain & behavior Research Foundation is funding research which may make my dreams, and the dreams of millions who suffer from these devastating mental illnesses, a reality.
I've been a donor to the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation for a few years now and am proud to know that 100% of my gift is going directly to fund research! I don't know of many other charities that can say the same. With so many people living with such difficult mental illnesses like depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, I believe research is the key to finding cures!
