Give monthly to fund addiction treatment

A monthly gift to The Blackburn Foundation, a Los Angeles 501(c)(3), helps pay for addiction and mental health treatment for people who cannot afford it, every month. Gifts start at $10 a month on our donation page; Monthly is already selected. Questions or changes: (888) 305-5422 or info@theblackburnfoundation.org.

Why give monthly instead of once?

Treatment does not happen in one payment. A stay in residential care is followed by outpatient treatment, sober living and aftercare, and that can take months. Monthly gifts give the scholarship fund steady ground, so the Foundation can plan support for people over the whole stretch of early recovery instead of one step at a time.

Small monthly gifts add up. $10 a month is $120 a year; $25 a month is $300 a year; 100 people giving $25 a month is $30,000 a year for treatment.

How do I start a monthly gift?

1. Open the form. Go to the donation page. Monthly is selected by default.
2. Pick an amount. Choose $10, $25, $50, $100 or $250, or type your own.
3. Add a name if you like. Tick “Give in honor/memory” to give in someone’s name, such as a sobriety anniversary or in memory of someone.
4. Finish. You get an emailed receipt for each gift.

What does a monthly gift pay for?

Gifts go to the treatment scholarship fund. Depending on need, scholarships help pay for detox, residential and outpatient treatment, sober living and aftercare. Each scholarship is decided case by case, and the Foundation works with the person and their treatment team on a plan. The Foundation funds care; it is not a treatment provider, and it does not pay for referrals.

Can I change, pause or stop my monthly gift?

Yes, any time. Call (888) 305-5422 or email info@theblackburnfoundation.org and we will help.
