How Your Fundraising Will Change Lives

We realize most non-profits and fundraising events like this may simply say that your donation 'will help the mission'. However given we're working towards specific goals, we wanted to take a slightly different approach in showing the very specific outcomes your donations will help achieve. We trust the below is enough information (if not too much!) but of course, if we can help with even more information feel free to email us :) 

 

Your donation will help Ignite Campus's (a non-profit) programs focused on ending the mental health epidemic plaguing our students on high school and university campuses throughout the United States.   

  1. Establishing Ignite Campus’s Change Maker program on campuses– setting up and training teams of Mental Health Change Makers across the United States.  

  1. Expansion of #ChangeTheNorm’s narrative program, focused on early intervention; changing attitudes, beliefs and behaviors surrounding mental health to end stigma, ensuring engagement in help seeking behaviors and create hope. 

$15,000

Interested in knowing even more details?

Funds raised can help cover the costs necessary to achieve these outcomes as well as growing the reach and impact of Ignite Mental Health, dedicated to creating a world where EVERY teen and young adult has the knowledge, access to resources and supportive community needed to avoid overcome or effectively manage mental health challenges.

Examples of costs which can be covered, include but are not limited to: 1. Marketing and promotional campaigns required to attract the most qualified candidates to apply to join the Campus Changemaker Program on their campus. Think..... poster, graphic design, online marketing, paid media and other costs. 2. Physical print cost, operational costs, associated legal costs, campaign related costs & much more.  2. Costs of recruitment programs (Candidate tracking and application database programs, video interviewing software & more) and project management systems needed to effectively hire and coordinate these Campus Changemakers and efforts on numerous campuses. 3. 1-4 full time team member payroll costs needed to operate programs to run Ignite Campus and onboard, train, empower and coordinate these Campus Change Makers, spread over 40+ states on over 200 campuses.. 4. Physical print cost, operational costs, associated legal costs, campaign related costs, story platform hosting costs, marketing costs and other associated story production costs.  

This is the first time Ignite is establishing a nationwide Campus Change Maker network using an iterative startup approach so it would of course be extremely difficult for us to accurately predict every cost we will likely incur, for example, will we need to pay legal costs for a law firm in California to approve a volunteer agreement compatible for our Change Makers in California? We don't know yet! So we anticipate alot of other miscellaneous costs too! We hope this information overload helps adds clarity!
