Joining a Community of Action

At Erika’s Lighthouse, we believe every student deserves good mental health. But making that vision a reality requires more than just high-quality curriculum—it requires a dedicated "Community of Action."

To honor those who lead this charge, we are proud to introduce Beacons of Hope, a recognition system designed for our most committed partners. Whether you are a monthly donor, a legacy planner, or a tireless volunteer, you are the light that helps students find their way out of the dark.

What is Beacons of Hope+?

 

While every Beacon of Hope plays a vital role, our Beacons of Hope+ level is reserved for our most committed and generous supporters—those contributing $5,000 or more annually.

Beacons of Hope+ members are more than donors; they are strategic partners in our mission. Because of their significant investment, they receive an even closer look at the impact they are making through exclusive access and insider information.

The Exclusive Benefits of "Plus" Membership

 

As a thank you for such an incredible commitment, Beacons of Hope+ members enjoy all the standard Beacon benefits—including a 10% discount at our Good Mental Health Store and early access to signature events—plus several exclusive perks:

  • Monthly Insider Updates: Receive personal briefings directly from our Executive Director to stay informed on the state of our mission.
  • "Evenings with Experts": Gain exclusive invitations to private sessions with nationally recognized mental health experts, providing you with deep insights into the field.
  • Mental Health Policy Briefs: Stay ahead of the curve with regular updates on how current events and legislative changes are impacting youth mental health work.
  • Event Recognition: Receive special acknowledgment at Erika’s Lighthouse events for your leadership-level support.
