Australians for Mental Health is still a tiny organisation punching far above its weight. We run on the smell of an oily rag. And this month, that rag caught fire.

We need to raise $50,000 by Christmas Eve to keep our work on track in January, and this weekend, your donation will go twice as far.

A generous anonymous supporter has committed to match every donation, dollar for dollar, up to $5,000. That means every dollar you give this weekend is immediately doubled, helping us close the gap faster and protect the work that matters.

We refuse government funding. Not because we’re stubborn — but because independence is the only way we can speak truth to power. Too many mental health organisations whisper when they need to shout, worried about upsetting a funding stream.

Our independence is our backbone.

Every donation over $2 is tax-deductible. Every dollar helps. Truly.

Your donation means we can keep saying the hard things publicly — and keep pushing the message out to millions of Australians who deserve a better mental health system.

Update: We are over 50% funded with 1 week to go!
