My Nonprofit Reviews

I have no idea what any of the people who are criticizing this organization are talking about. I have raised around $2000 for AFSP in the past two years and they are the most wonderful non-profit I have ever had the privilege to serve. After becoming a suicide survivor in the summer of 2013 AFSP was a great comfort to me as they supplied me with the tools and the resources to learn about suicide and what to do in its aftermath. Their National Survivors of Suicide Day event strongly supported me in my time of grief. I have taken part in the Out of the Darkness Overnight, AFSP's national event, and it was truly life changing. The coaches, walkers and staff supported me every step of the way during my 16 mile trek and during the fundraising. It was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. I also volunteered for the Out of the Darkness Community Walk in my area, and I have to say that was very well run, very fun, and very comforting to me. As a Field Advocate I have been able to help direct our government towards more friendly laws for mental health patients, and now I am organizing a campus walk at my school. AFSP is the leader for suicide research and they do everything they can to prevent suicide in the future. The only thing I really have to say is that I sometimes wish that they would get back to me faster, but I guess this can be understood seeing as how they only have so many staff. Unless something drastic happens, I am a volunteer for them for life.
