National Mental Health Association Named a Top Health Charity for 2002
A+ Rating Awarded by American Institute of Philanthropy
Several national news, financial and philanthropic publications have recently ranked the National Mental Health Association as a top health charity for 2002. Newsweek magazine, Worth magazine, Forbes magazine, The Chronicle of Philanthropy, The Nonprofit Times, SmartMoney magazine (a publication of The Wall Street Journal) and Charity Navigator all agree that National Mental Health Association is a smart choice for year-end tax deductible donations.
In addition, the nationally prominent charity watchdog organization, the American Institute of Philanthropy, has again awarded the NMHA an A+ rating, based on the percentage of funds spent on programs and the percentage of every $100 raised that is spent on fundraising costs.
Mental Health Association of Erie County Foundation, Inc.
"Touching Lives Today…To Bring a Better Tomorrow"
The Mental Health Association Foundation was formed and incorporated in 1991 as the fundraising arm of the Mental Health Association Board of Directors.
The MHA Foundation Board recently inaugurated an Endowment Program to help build a secure income resource for the MHA. The goal is to raise one million dollars that will give the MHA a secure resource of income and stabilize our financial future. This endowment program will broaden our funding base and make us less dependent on government funding, thus strengthening our independent stance. As a result, the Foundation Board has inaugurated a Benefactor Society Membership that at this time, we are pleased to have 42 individuals, corporations and foundations qualify as members. The qualifications for membership include an accumulated donation of $1000 gift with an annual gift of $250 or more to maintain membership status.
