Saks Fifth Avenue Foundation
The need for increased access to mental health services has never been more important.
Support the Saks Fifth Avenue Foundation
According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, only 39% of Black and African Americans with a mental health concern receive mental health services. Additionally, a recent survey from The Trevor Project shows that 50% of LGBTQ+ young people who wanted mental health care in the past year were not able to get it. To help close this gap, we are asking our key partners to continue support for the Saks Fifth Avenue Foundation’s mental health mission. Our fundraising will allow us to continue our partnerships with national nonprofits providing resources and support to communities that need our help the most, such as communities of color, the LGBTQ+ community, youth and girls. We hope you will support the Saks Fifth Avenue Foundation with a donation.
