SANE has received support from many different organisations.
Here are some examples:
SANE was delighted to receive a grant of £387,282 towards a 4 year suicide research project - A New Focus for Suicide Prevention: Harnessing Personal Experience.
In September 2010, we received confirmation from the AD Trust that they wished to make an unrestricted grant of £45,000 over three years. The decision came after we had set out our current activities and explained our strategy to the Trustees. This investment will help to turn our plans into reality.
John Ellerman FoundationSANE was awarded a grant of £64,000 over a two year period towards core funding of the charity. We were also very pleased to have our work showcased in the 2010 John Ellerman annual report.
Garfield Weston FoundationThe Garfield Weston Foundation has provided core funding for SANE's activities on a number of occasions. We are very grateful to the Trustees for their consistent and generous support.
