Help us raise funds

Visit the Black Dog shop

There are lots of ways to help us raise funds at the Black Dog Institute. Fundraising is vital to the ongoing delivery of the Institute’s programs to the community and health professional sectors. Whilst we receive some government funding, we rely heavily on donations from individuals and business groups. If you value the Institute’s work, please consider making a donation, buying something from our shop, or holding an event to help us raise funds.

In 2012, this project is supporting 5 new amazing charities including the Black Dog Institute.
