Shop to Support Mental Health

How Everyday Purchases Can Make a Real Difference

Supporting mental health advocacy does not always require a direct donation. The things you already buy, including games, books, gear, and everyday essentials, can help fund organizations doing important work in digital communities and at in person events. When you choose retailers and programs that share proceeds with mental health nonprofits, your routine purchases become meaningful support. Shopping‑based giving:

  • Integrates support into everyday life.
  • Helps nonprofits receive consistent, predictable funding.
  • Provides tangible items that directly improve mental‑health spaces.
  • Makes advocacy accessible to people who may not be able to donate directly.

For organizations like Take This – whose work spans digital communities, game studios, conventions, and online culture – these contributions and wish list items help sustain their programs that reduce stigma, promote psychological safety, and support people where they already are.
