How we use our donations to achieve results is of the highest priority to us. And once again we kept our combined administrative costs and fundraising costs to 17.1 percent, well below the industry standard 25 percent. This dramatic growth is a result of 700,000 new and returning donors connecting with AFSP and supporting our research and programs. And we had several major policy successes, including the passage of the National Suicide Hotline Improvement Act, which was signed into law and will improve crisis services nationwide for people in distress.įinancial contributions increased 45 percent this year to $37 million. As of this year, we have an incredible 20,000 volunteer field advocates, connecting with their state and federal representatives and fighting for legislation and policies that will help reduce suicide. This sense of connection throughout the United States is only growing stronger. Over 350,000 people participated in our Community, Campus and Overnight Walks, spreading awareness and raising funds for the cause. The AFSP Out of the Darkness ™ Walks enabled a large community of suicide loss survivors and those who struggle to connect with one another, so no one has to be alone. We hosted over 365 International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day events, providing comfort, connection and support to those who have lost loved ones. Our chapters connected people in every state with resources to keep their communities safe and better informed about mental health and suicide prevention, including AFSP’s educational program Talk Saves Lives ™, which reached more than 75,000 people this year. By uniting in this common goal to stop suicide, we are stronger together and have done much this year to educate the public about suicide prevention, advocate for public policies to advance our mission, and fund innovative research to save lives. It’s the 10th leading cause of death, and we can all have a role in preventing it.
