Join the Red Door Fund for Mental Health in building stronger, safer, and more vibrant communities where every door is a gateway to hope and support. In 2021, this heartfelt initiative, motivated by a four-year-old artist’s innocent creation, came to life with the establishment of The Red Door Fund for Mental Health, a program of the Fayette Community Foundation.
The initial inspiration for the Red Door Fund originated from a local child’s artwork that spoke volumes. A seemingly random red door in a drawing became a powerful symbol of hope, love, and solace, especially for those navigating the challenging territory of mental illness and loss. The founders, touched by the profound worldwide meaning of a red door, envisioned creating a network of support and understanding in rural regions where mental health resources are often limited.
Today, as we embark on a new year, the Red Door Fund proudly reflects on its journey of spreading mental health awareness and support in our rural area, fueled by compassion and community solidarity. Since its inception in 2021, the Red Door Fund has been instrumental in raising $130,181, strategically investing $111,143 back into the community. These community donations have been channeled towards improving mental health awareness, education, and expanding local mental health services and providers based on community priorities.
