Fundraising Impact

Every contribution, big or small, helps us continue our work to improve mental health outcomes, empower community programs, and create stigma-free spaces for people across NSW. Whether you choose to donate or start your own fundraiser, you’re helping us build a future where mental health is understood, supported, and valued.

Your Support

Funds raised for Wayahead go directly into strengthening our Mental Health Month campaign and expanding our impact across the state. Your support helps us:

Enhance the quality of our mental health resources
Increase our reach across diverse communities
Ensure rural and remote areas have better access to support materials
Recognise and celebrate the many organisations doing vital work in the mental health sector

As a not-for-profit, we work hard to make every dollar count, and additional funding allows us to do even more – from improving the stability and scale of future campaigns to amplifying our message across NSW. Our goal is to reach as many people as possible through a variety of avenues, including campaign promotion, ambassador involvement, and the continued growth of our Mental Health Matters Awards.

Your contribution doesn’t just support our work, it supports the individuals, families, workplaces, schools, and communities who rely on our resources, programs, and advocacy to raise awareness and foster mentally healthy environments.
