The Because Counseling Matters Annual Fund is the heart of philanthropy at NFCC,
and we invite you to be part of this meaningful work by making a gift.
Your generosity ensures that individuals and families in our community can continue to access
compassionate, affordable, and high-quality counseling services when they need it most.



Why the Annual Fund Matters
The Annual Fund is the foundation that sustains the Counseling Center’s work throughout the year.
While fees and insurance cover part of the cost of care, they don’t fully reflect the true investment
required to provide high-quality mental health services.
Your gift to the Because Counseling Matters Annual Fund makes compassionate, professional
counseling accessible to individuals and families. Mental health needs don’t follow a calendar and
because of donors like you, neither does our care.

- Access to counseling through sliding-scale fees as low as $35 per session

- A safe, professional, and welcoming space for healing
- Community-wide impact through mental health talks and panels
Monthly Giving
Through monthly giving, your ongoing generosity provides stability and sustainability, allowing us to plan ahead with confidence and respond quickly to community needs as they arise. Your consistent support ensures that vital programs continue without interruption, resources are allocated where they are needed most, and long-term solutions can be built—not just short-term fixes.
By giving monthly, you become a steady partner in our mission, helping create a lasting impact and meaningful change all year long.
