Additionally, 76% of students said mental health services made available by their colleges and universities impact the likelihood of getting a degree.<\/p><p>Providing easy access to comprehensive mental and medical health care during critical times can be life-saving. Offering resources to help increase student retention is also beneficial for the financial health of the campus and local economy.<\/p><p>Despite the clear need and strong business case for funding mental health and student success resources, securing the necessary funds can be challenging. However, when campus leaders explore various paths to funding, institutions can often find the funds needed to add these essential programs.<\/p><p><em><strong>With a strategic mix of federal, state, and local funding, along with private donations, schools can create a sustainable model for wellness initiatives. <\/strong>Here\u2019s a closer look at each funding source.<\/em><\/p><h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"private-donations\"><\/span>Private donations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4><p>Parents, alumni, and community members often want to see mental health support services be expanded for students, wishing they had similar resources during their college years. Early adulthood is a challenging time, and support for stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues can significantly aid students on their educational journeys.<\/p><p>Alumni, parents, and students are some of the biggest champions of mental health and well-being initiatives. Private donors often feel a deep connection to the mission of supporting a new generation, relating to students&#8217; struggles and remembering how few resources were available during their collegiate experience.<\/p><p>Examples from higher education show how private donations can help increase campus mental health resources.
