CFT is offering an opportunity for mental health-focused nonprofits to earn matching dollars to support their work through its easy-to-use North Texas Giving Day website, thanks to support from the Ramesh and Kalpana Bhatia Family Foundation.
In alignment with Mental Health Awareness Month in May, the Bhatia Foundation is partnering with CFT to match donations, dollar for dollar, to local organizations supporting mental health. A total of $120,000 of matching funds are available.
“Communities Foundation of Texas believes that health, including mental health, is a pillar of a thriving community. The Bhatia Foundation is in their third year of serving as the North Texas Giving Day Cause Sponsor for two areas of work: Mental and Behavioral Health; and Intellectual, Development and Physical Differences,” said Wayne White, President and CEO at CFT. “The Bhatia Foundation has a longstanding commitment to advocating for better mental health outcomes, and we’re grateful to partner with them and our local nonprofit community to double their impact during Mental Health Awareness Month,” said White.
Through Wednesday, May 15, individuals can utilize North Texas Giving Day’s online giving platform to increase the impact of their charitable dollars. Donations can be made to local organizations providing mental health resources and care here.
The Mental Health matching campaign is our third fundraising campaign using the North Texas Giving Day platform with matching funds available this year. “To empower community members to give locally and stretch the impact of donations, Communities Foundation and generous local partners have offered matching funds for North Texas nonprofits advancing the arts, economic security and mental health,” said White.
