Community initiatives play an essential role in JEVI\u2019s mission. As government funding covers on average only 51% of the resources required to maintain our services<\/strong>, every project organized in support of JEVI, small or large, directly helps support suicide prevention in our region. The involvement of community members, groups, businesses, and students is therefore an indispensable contribution.<\/p>

To support those who wish to get involved, we provide several tools: a guide titled Fundraising from A to Z<\/em> to help you get your initiative started, our policies governing projects supported by JEVI, and an official form to be completed so that your initiative can be approved by a member of our team.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
