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.
Please Note: HeadsUpGuys is currently transitioning from UBC to become an independent non-profit organization. We have now incorporated as a non-profit society (HeadsUpGuys Society).
At this stage, HeadsUpGuys Society is not yet able to issue tax receipts for donations (the process to become a registered charity in Canada, which allows for issuing tax receipts, typically takes up to a year.)
We hope this does not serve as a barrier to supporting the critical work of HeadsUpGuys. In fact, we need your support now, more than ever.
Make cheques payable to HeadsUpGuys Society and mail to us at:
