My Nonprofit Reviews

I came upon AFSP 9 years ago when I lost 2 people in the span of 2 weeks. My life changed forever when I participated in that years overnight walk. I've been walking and raising awareness ever since. I also have been raising money, but that has never been the focus of AFSP. Raising awareness to help fight the stigma of mental illness and letting people know that they are not alone is the focus. In 9 years, I've watched AFSP build what I describe as a movement across 50 states and around the world. I've also watched and participated as they have fought on the Federal, State, and Local level to pass laws to help people who struggle and need help. I've had the opportunity to meet and speak with people in management at AFSP and always get quick responses when in need. I've never been associated with a better group of people and have never seen any organization create as much change in this world as AFSP. They do all this with only 17% of donations going to expenses. Every single year I do the walk and raise awareness, I am told by at least one person that I saved their life. Multiply that by 240,000 people who walked last year and you can't even begin to imagine the positive affect of AFSP. Most of all, those 240,000 people who have all been affected in one way or another got to be with each other..Knowing you're not alone is the greatest gift people suffering can receive. Thank You AFSP.
