Why give

The cost of mental health has grown significantly in recent years. For those, in the Bay Area, the rising cost of living has made access to care unobtainable. Families with insurance can’t find quality clinicians either. Insurance companies reimbursement rates have fallen despite costs of services increasing. Many clinicians have chosen to forego insurance and charge client’s directly. This all creates strain, especially during a time when a person needs care. The monthly cost of therapy can range from anywhere from $400 to $800. This is nearly impossible for some, when their rent or mortgage takes up over 50% of their income.

Your tax deductible donation will be used to provide such services to those in dire need of mental health services. Families eligible for reduced, or no cost treatment, will benefit from generous donors like you.

how your funds are used

90% of your 100% tax-deductible donation will be used to support mental health services and 10% will cover administrative costs associated with providing clinical support. By donating to Being, your contribution allows youth, adults, and families to access care.

To ensure that funds are distributed equitably individuals and families with great financial need will be able to apply for grants. Grants are provided in ranges of Low Cost or Pro-bono. Client’s ability to pay will be assessed and a number of sessions at the Low Cost or Pro-Bono rate will be determined. The clients will receive a regular statement that shows their contribution and or the amount of the donor funds. Pro bono services will be authorized for 20 visits and then reassessed.
