Give the Gift of Hope
As a not-for-profit organization that never charges for our services, we must seek donations to provide the resources that people desperately need. You may have noticed; our website is not full of ads. We don't sell them nor rely on them.
What you may not know is that it costs thousands of dollars to create each in-depth guide from start to finish, including all those “behind the scenes” kinds of things such as research, writing, editing, review from our mental health experts, web hosting, and much more.
We at HelpGuide want to be there for every person who needs us when they need us the most. Our guides, resources, and support are a critical lifeline of hope to over 50 million people each year.
But to be that hope, we depend on people just like you.
Can you give $25, $50, or even $100 to help us to be there for the next person who needs HelpGuide?
Will you give that gift of hope?
