About NAMI’s Strategic Partnership Program

Thank you for your interest in joining the NAMI Partnership Program. Our program offers partners a variety of approaches and opportunities to engage with the NAMI Alliance, and is structured to best meet your company, organization, or foundation objectives.

If you’re an individual looking to support NAMI, visit our NAMI Do-It-Your-Way page to explore meaningful ways to get involved through our personal fundraising platform.

If your organization serves a local or regional community, we encourage you to connect with your NAMI State Organization to find nearby NAMI Affiliates and explore ways to support local efforts. Use our Find Your NAMI locator to get started.

NAMI’s partners share our values and help us fulfill our mission while collectively increasing visibility and impact. As a trusted organization reaching deep into local communities throughout the country, NAMI’s services, advocacy efforts and programs succeed in building a vital mental health movement to improve the lives of people affected by mental health conditions and their families.

Our leadership team evaluates partnerships that align with our mission, values and priorities and those who would like to make a significant contribution that is clearly defined, impactful and measurable.

NAMI’s partnerships generally fall into one of four categories:

  • Corporate and Foundation Supporters: National-level foundations and companies whose generous support helps us fulfill our charitable mission.
  • StigmaFree Company Partners: Companies NAMI works with to provide the tools and resources to support their employees’ mental well-being through expanding awareness, fostering a culture of caring, and improving access to support.
  • Influencer Ambassadors and Supporters: Social influencers in the entertainment, sports, literature, music or arts community who partner to help raise vital resources and awareness while building the mental health movement.
  • Community Partnerships & Collaborations: Institutions and organizations that NAMI works with to expand resources and increase mental health education, awareness, and help-seeking opportunities.

Please provide as much information as possible about your proposed partnership. We review partnership requests at least monthly and reply to those submitted as soon as we can. For questions, please email partnerships@nami.org.
