Giving Tuesday is the one day each year when millions of people decide where their generosity will do the most good. If you care about young people and mental health, choosing the right nonprofit matters as much as the gift itself.
How to choose a youth mental health nonprofit
Before you give, look for three things: a clear program model, measurable reach, and a direct path from your dollars to care. Ask whether the organization actually delivers services to young people, whether it can show how many it has reached, and whether your donation removes a real barrier to help.
Why youth mental health giving matters right now
Young people are facing a mental health crisis, and cost and stigma remain the biggest barriers to care. Gifts that fund therapy directly, and programs that make asking for help feel normal, move the needle in ways that last.
A nonprofit putting your Giving Tuesday gift to work
Project Blackbird is a national youth mental health nonprofit (a registered 501(c)(3), EIN 92-0678276) founded in 2022.

On Giving Tuesday, a donation to Project Blackbird goes straight to free therapy and school programming for students.
