"It felt more calming to be around alpacas and to talk to others."
How You Can
Support Our Mental Wellness Programs for Youth
Financial Giving
You can support our research-informed, nature-based, and animal-assisted programs by giving a one-time donation or by giving monthly. Monthly giving helps us plan ahead and ensure we can sustain our impact.
Here’s a snapshot of what your donation can enable:
$50 buys one wellness support dog vest
$100 provides mindful art session supplies
$250 sponsors a PAWS Wellness training workshop
$500 sponsors an alpaca field trip
$1000 sponsors four new wellness support dog teams
Employer Matching
Want to increase your impact? Ask your employer to match your contribution.
If your workplace offers corporate matching, consider asking them to match your gift. The cost is the same to you, but doubles the money we receive and the impact we can make. Email info@kindlingminds.org for questions.
