Joy feels complicated right now. The world is loud. Budgets are tight. Life feels harder than it used to. But joy still shows up anyway. In small moments. In unexpected places. In the hands of people who choose care in a world that feels stretched thin.
At Scatter Joy, our mission is built on that belief. Joy is a form of care. A form of resistance. A reminder that none of us are meant to carry the heavy things in life alone.
This season, we’re raising funds to support the mental-health resources our community depends on every day.
1) Free and low-cost therapy sessions
2) Crisis support through our text line and resource network
3) Creative programs that reduce loneliness and build belonging
4) A storefront that operates as a third-space for grounding, connection, and community care
Your support helps bring joy into the world in the most meaningful way, by turning it into care for someone who needs it.
Joy to the World isn’t about cheerfulness. It’s about capacity. It’s about belonging. It’s about creating systems of support that meet people where they actually are and when they need it most.
When you give to Scatter Joy, you’re not giving to a vague idea of “mental health.” You’re giving to people. Real people. With real names, real stories, and real needs.
1) You’re helping someone receive therapy when they thought they couldn’t afford it.
2) You’re helping someone text for help at 2am and actually get a response.
3) You’re helping someone walk into a Scatter Joy event or our storefront and feel grounded for the first time in months.
4) You’re helping us create storytelling that reaches people who may never walk into a traditional support space.
This campaign is our chance to make sure no one has to face their hardest moments alone. If Scatter Joy has impacted you, or if you believe in a world where care is accessible, creative, and human, this is your invitation to be part of it. Your support matters more than you know.
If you’re looking for different ways to give this season, there are two powerful options that directly fuel our mission and keep our community resources running.
1) Shop the Joy to the World Collection
Our limited seasonal collection is more than apparel—it’s a way to support mental-health care through something you can wear, gift, or share. Every purchase helps fund therapy sessions, crisis support, creative programming, and our storefront as a third-space for belonging.
Joy to the World design is available in a t-shirt, crewneck, and hoodie. Shop now
2) Join The Scatter Joy Society
The Society is our monthly community of supporters who help sustain this work all year long. Recurring gifts—at any level—allow us to plan ahead, host free or low-cost events, expand our Therapy Fund, and respond quickly when people reach out for help. Learn more.
It’s steady support that creates lasting change.
