Alluma is proud to announce the launch of the Alluma Foundation, a new initiative dedicated to expanding access to high-quality mental health and substance use care in northwestern Minnesota. By mobilizing resources and fostering innovative funding solutions, the Alluma Foundation aims to bridge critical gaps in care and create a foundation of hope, healing, and resilience for individuals and families in need.
“Access to mental health care remains one of the most pressing challenges in our region, and the Alluma Foundation is our answer to this need,” said Dr. Christopher Mills, Alluma Foundation Board Chair. “Through the Foundation, we’re making it easier for our community to come together and invest in mental health and substance use services.”
Donations to the Alluma Foundation support a range of critical needs, such as providing financial assistance to clients and fueling innovative programs. For example:
• A $100 donation could cover transportation costs, ensuring a client can attend therapy appointments for a month.
• A $500 donation could support a community outreach program, bringing cutting-edge mental health services to underserved areas.
These contributions create immediate and lasting change, ensuring that everyone in our community has the chance to thrive.
Looking ahead, the Foundation will hold its first major giving event on February 13, 2025, during Giving Hearts Day. This regional day of giving will serve as a key moment to rally the community around the Foundation’s mission and highlight the importance of investing in mental health care.
“Our mission has always been about promoting wellbeing and instilling hope,” said Shauna Reitmeier, Executive Officer of Alluma. “The Alluma Foundation is an extension of that mission, ensuring that we have the resources to provide accessible care for everyone, regardless of their circumstances. Every donation has the power to transform lives and build a stronger, healthier future for our region.”
