Be a radical for mental health
VCPI celebrates GivingTuesday, joining millions around the world participating in the global generosity movement on November 29, 2022
This GivingTuesday, the Vermont Cooperative for Practice Improvement & Innovation will inspire generosity by seeking financial and people-powered support for essential mental health care in Vermont.
GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement, unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and their world. GivingTuesday will kick off the generosity season this year by inspiring people to give back on November 29, 2022, and throughout the year.
VCPI is joining the movement to promote “Radical Generosity” this season. “It’s about the concept that the suffering of others should be as intolerable to us as our own suffering,” said Alex Lehning, Executive Director of VCPI.
“We believe that everyone deserves meaningful and accessible mental health care in Vermont. Your gift supports helping professionals and the communities they serve by providing opportunities for impact through training, resources, and engagement,” continued Lehning.
GivingTuesday was launched in 2012 as a simple idea: to create a day that encourages people to do good. Over the past nine years, this idea has grown into a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
People demonstrate generosity in many ways on GivingTuesday. Whether it’s helping a neighbor or stranger out, showing up for an issue or people we care about, or giving to causes we care about, every act of generosity counts. GivingTuesday has raised billions of dollars for critical causes around the world and gets billions of impressions on social media from people and organizations speaking up for the causes that matter to them and encouraging others to get involved in their communities.
“GivingTuesday inspires people all around the world to embrace their power to drive progress around the causes they care about, not just on one day but throughout the year.” said Asha Curran, GivingTuesday’s CEO, and co-founder. “With country and community leaders, millions of organizations, and countless givers of all kinds, GivingTuesday is creating a shared space where we can see the radical implications of a more generous world.”
Those who are interested in joining VCPI’s GivingTuesday initiative can donate online or by mail to PO Box 343, St. Albans VT 05478. You can also contact us to volunteer, become a member, or get involved.
When giving online to support us, be sure to select “Johnson Campus - Other” and designate “VCPI” for your gift.
