Where do the funds I raise go?

Funds raised will help Black Dog Institute to continue to provide support to communities around Australia. Donations help us to further scale our mental health education programs by building knowledge and understanding about mental illness, improving mental health literacy and reducing the stigma surrounding mental illness.

In addition, as an internationally recognised leader in researching the early detection, prevention and treatment of common mental health disorders, donations will also help us to continue our innovative and vast mental health research portfolio. Please click here for more information.

 

Finding the best ways to help people is critical, and after thorough research and evaluation, our aim is to find new and better ways of improving mental health and reducing suicide, including improving access for those people who don’t seek help for a range of reasons. All the funds raised for Black Dog Institute support this. For more about our current impact see our Impact page, to view our most recent annual report from 2023.
