For nearly 40 years, Lee Mental Health has relied on the passion and generosity of donors to help children, adults, and their families reclaim their lives from mental illnesses and addictions. Like cancer, diabetes, or heart disease, mental illness and addiction knows no bounds. It reaches across age, race, gender, and socioeconomic status. It reaches into our families, workplaces, schools, and neighborhoods.
Mental illnesses and addictions are treatable! With your support, we can put recovery within the reach of more children and adults who turn to our agency for help. In the most recent year, Lee Mental Health served more than 9,000 individuals – our highest demand for emergency and inpatient psychiatric treatment for since 1969 when we first opened our doors.
Your donation will help to give children and adults the best treatment opportunities for a successful recovery. Please donate today, securely on-line, by clicking the blue DONATE NOW button. Your gift is fully tax-deductible and you will receive a thank you letter and receipt for your tax purposes.

Among the many endowed and donor-advised funds managed by the Southwest Florida Community Foundation are two specifically established to benefit Lee Mental Health and its programs.

The Lee Mental Health ASA Endowment Fund was established in 1994. An agency endowment fund is a special type of fund created by non-profits to ensure future sustainability for the organization. This fund is also housed at the Southwest Florida Community Foundation and donors can make contributions to the fund at any time. As the fund grows, Lee Mental Health receives annual distributions to be used for residential treatment for men and women recovering from substance abuse. Distributions may also be returned to the fund for future growth.
Donations to either fund can be mailed to the Southwest Florida Community Foundation, c/o Jan Eustis Children’s Services Fund or the Lee Mental Health ASA Endowment Fund,
