Fundraising & Community 

The Department welcomes and values community partnership in advancing our mental health awareness and fundraising initiatives. Support may take many forms, including hosting fundraising events, making financial or in-kind contributions, and volunteering with our team.

Make a Gift

Mental Health Initiatives

Giving online is easy, fast, and secure. You can make your online gift using your credit/debit card. Please note, MUSC's fiscal year runs from July 1 to June 30. Every gift of any size truly makes a difference and allows us to change what’s possible here at MUSC.

Hope Fund

Veteran's Hope Fund

Community Fundraising Activities

Gift-in-kind, or GIK, is a type of charitable giving in which contributions take the form of tangible goods rather than money — whether that be art supplies, clothing, and games — contributions large and small continue to make a difference. Please visit the annual Wish Lists for our in-patient program and our STAR program for more details.

Sponsor an Educational Event

With several continuing educational conferences and an academic Grand Rounds series, there are a wide array of opportunities to show your support for mental health while simultaneously showcasing your business to community mental health providers.

Volunteering

Protecting our clients’ privacy is vital to our mission. For that reason, we don’t use volunteers on a daily or weekly basis. We welcome volunteer help in many other ways, though.

  • Host a year-round or holiday supply drive.
  • Eagle Scout and High School community service projects
  • Organize a community fundraiser

Please email us at psych-events@musc.edu if you’d like to make MUSC Psychiatry a beneficiary of your project or event. Please note that planning takes time, and we ask that you reach out to us at least 6 weeks prior to your project timeframe.
