I’ve been thinking about ways that people generously support the work of Mental Health America of Fredericksburg (MHAF). It seems a good idea to start listing them so that you can see what fits your situation. Of course, we all want to help as we can. Several years ago my wife and I decided to put the majority of our support into local programs and institutions or ones that we could verify were effective. It turned out for us, that MHAF meets both those criteria. The proceeds from every event and campaign support programs in our area. MHAF also has a great track record in working with the people it serves and with other organizations to educate, advocate, and implement cooperative programs.
#1. Direct donations online. This past year MAHF has set up a way that you can easily donate online to MHAF. Just go to http://mhafred.org/donate, pick the amount of your donation and follow the prompts. You can also designate a specific program – Senior Visitors, HelpLine, Suicide Prevention Education, Support Groups – for a donation and/or make the donation in honor of someone else. You also have the opportunity to pay the processing fee ( 3% ) MHAF has to pay to process a credit card transaction.
#2. Direct donation via check. Some people prefer to send their donation as a check to the MHAF Office. When you want to do that, make the check out to MHAF and mail it to
