At Erika’s Lighthouse, our mission is driven by a powerful vision: to ensure no young person ever feels alone in their depression. We do this by providing free, evidence-informed mental health programs and resources to middle school and high school communities across the country.
This essential work—equipping schools, empowering students, and breaking down the stigma—requires more than just a single moment of generosity; it requires a steady, predictable source of hope. That’s why we invite you to become a recurring donor, joining a dedicated community of supporters who fuel our movement every month.
When you choose to give monthly, you transform your donation into consistent, reliable support, allowing us to plan for tomorrow and respond to the urgent needs of today. Your recurring gifts act as the dependable light that guides us all year long.
Here is the measurable difference your consistent support makes:
A small, recurring gift of $25 a month adds up to $300 a year—a predictable, powerful donation that can train school staff or provide a full program module to hundreds of students in a new community.
By becoming a monthly donor at any amount you will be invited to become a Beacon of Hope, an exclusive community of philanthropic leaders committed to furthering the mission of Erika’s Lighthouse.
Members of this community are the bedrock of our organization, providing the steady support that allows us to offer our high-quality depression education and suicide prevention curriculum to schools across the country, entirely for free.
