ABOUT US

No one is exempt from the trials and tribulations in this life. The team of volunteers and board members that support Fund Recovery each bring their own experiences and stories associated with behavioral health and substance misuse. We understand and are here to help provide the level of care and support everyone deserves.

You are not alone, you are loved and you are worth it!

MISSION

Since 2011, Fund Recovery exists to break the cycle of mental health issues by filling in the funding gap between someone who is struggling and their recovery. Our mission is to provide funding to directly support those combating mental health issues who cannot otherwise afford help, either by supporting the afflicted people directly or by assisting those who care for them. Fund Recovery provides financial assistance and scholarships for addiction and mental health services for people seeking change.
