Mental-Health Groups Miss Opportunities to Build Support - The Chronicle of Philanthropy

Mental-Health Groups Miss Opportunities to Build Support - The Chronicle of Philanthropy: "In the aftermath of tragic events perpetrated by people who are mentally ill, such as mass shootings, 88 percent of charities focused on mental-health issues did not alter their fundraising efforts, according to a new study.

And 72 percent of such nonprofits, the survey reported, saw no change in the amount of money they raised after such events.

This failure to plea more aggressively for support at a time when their cause is on the minds of the public represents a missed opportunity, says Benjamin Waxman, executive director of the Mental Health and Addiction Network, known as MHANe."
