Why Donate?
How will your donation impact our organization? In a big way.
Inside Our Minds operates as a collective run by independent contractors and volunteers. As a truly grassroots organization with no salaried staff, we do our best to respond to community needs, give stipends and opportunities to people with lived experience, and demand equity and inclusion in mental health. At Inside Our Minds, your donation will make a huge impact in keeping our programming free, responsive, peer-controlled, and community-driven.
