HEADSUPGUYS IS FUNDED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH DONATIONS
Men’s mental health is in a long overlooked state of crisis, with statistics showing that men account for 75%-80% of suicide deaths.1
Since launching in 2015, HeadsUpGuys has grown to become the world’s leading men’s mental health resource.
HeadsUpGuys is a research-based public education initiative of The University of British Columbia (UBC)’s Psychotherapy Program, operating under the leadership of Dr. John Ogrodniczuk, in the Department of Psychiatry.
HeadsUpGuys prides itself on maintaining low costs and running a lean and well-oiled machine.
Donations to HeadsUpGuys qualify for a tax credit, as we are a program of The University of British Columbia (UBC), a registered charitable organization.

How is HeadsUpGuys Currently Funded?
HeadsUpGuys relies solely on donations from our donor community for funding. We do not receive funding from federal or provincial/state governments.
Although we are a program of The University of British Columbia (UBC), HeadsUpGuys does not directly receive funding from UBC. However, we benefit from essential support such as office space, financial administration, and human resource management.
Where Do Donations Go?
Housed within UBC’s broader research infrastructure, HeadsUpGuys contributes to the improvement of mental health outcomes by translating academic research into accessible tools and information for public benefit.
Contributions go toward sustaining our team, updating and expanding our website, ongoing awareness efforts, as well as creating promotional campaigns and materials.
(As a program of UBC, we do not have expenses related to office space, financial administration, and human resource management).
Considering a larger donation? Email us at [email protected], and we’ll be glad to discuss.
