  • IfYoureReadingThis offers the kind of hope, support, and understanding that only peers can provide. Our volunteers work every day to provide help and hope to thousands of students. Our fundraising and volunteers are entirely grassroots, and you have the power to keep our free, accessible mental health resource available to everyone.

    To become a fundraiser, simply put on an event or solicit donations. Then provide the funds raised to our donation page, Venmo @ifyourereadingthis, or Paypal alexandra@ifyourereadingthis.org.

  • Let the people in your community know you care, that they have someone they can lean on, and that they are not alone. By publishing an IfYoureReadingThis letter, you can help build empathic connections and a healthier community.
