Training Summary
Having a great idea for an anti-stigma effort can only take an organization so far. Obtaining funding to implement and initiate anti-stigma efforts can be a far greater obstacle. However, it does not have to be difficult. There are many options for funding sources for anti-stigma efforts like private donations, foundations, or State, local, and even Federal agencies. It is vital that organizations seeking funding be fully aware of available resources so that they can build a successful and fully funded anti-stigma effort. 
Please join us as we: 
Present information on the development and implementation of fundraising and special events as a means of funding anti-stigma efforts. 
Provide an overview of two successful anti-stigma fundraising activities that have been implemented. 
Present information on identifying funding sources and accessing existing funding sources at a local, state, and federal level. 



Send in Your Questions 
In response to your feedback on surveys from previous teleconferences, we are trying something new during the question and answer segment of our training teleconference. We invite you to send in your questions related to funding anti-stigma efforts in advance of the teleconference. Speakers will answer as many questions as possible during the teleconference. Please send your questions by e-mail at stopstigma at samhsa.hhs.gov or by telephone at 1-800-540-0320. 
Please note that sending a question does not guarantee its inclusion in the teleconference. We will provide the speakers' contact information so that you may pursue your answer after the call. If you provide your name and organization at the time you ask your question, we may use it during the call. Anonymous questions also can be submitted.
