Funding Philosophy

The Mark Edward Fund was built on a simple belief: real change starts close to home — not with big gestures, but with honest ones.

Unlike traditional nonprofits, we don’t operate with paid staff, corporate sponsorships, or built-in overhead. Every event is made possible through personal investment — not to generate profit, but to generate impact.

There are no salaries. No reimbursements. No hidden costs. Every dollar raised goes directly to suicide prevention efforts in local schools, hospitals, and communities.

It’s about creating something meaningful enough that people want to be part of it. Because when enough of us give what we can — either through time, energy, or dollars — the impact adds up.

This is how we grow something that lasts. Together.
