To save lives, our goals are to: 1) increase our scope of impact in public awareness and media; 2) advance and influence the field through shaping the national agenda and building a knowledge base through scientific study of suicide; 3) proactively engage survivors and those with lived experience; and 4) be a recognized leader in prevention and postvention awareness, education and materials. By educating the public, SAVE hopes to remove the stigma associated with suicide and help rid sufferers of the shame, guilt and blame that often accompany mental illness. SAVE's expertise and capacity lies in its long history of suicide prevention programming and in its unique collaboration between boards, staff, volunteers and community partners. 0 0 494052 28007 SAVE's outreach efforts extend to community and professional education, further amplifying our message. SAVE staff educated communities and individuals on the symptoms of mental illnesses linked to suicide, warning signs of suicide, and intervention strategies. The Green Bandana Project is a suicide prevention program in which high school and college students are trained to refer their at-risk peers to available mental health and suicide prevention resources. After a short orientation and basic suicide prevention training, student participants display a lime-green bandana on their backpack, bag, or clothing, signifying they have pledged to be a safe, knowledgeable individual to approach for information on mental health and suicide prevention resources. The Green Bandana Project has chapters at 28 colleges and 13 high schools. Beyond educational institutions, our speaking engagements (Let's Talk About It!) assists a group in developing a forum addressing mental health, wellness, and suicide prevention for parents, faith communities, civic groups, and nonprofits. Annually, SAVE responds to hundreds of information requests across various settings, including civic events, professional gatherings, faith-based forums, businesses, conferences, and schools. In 2023, SAVE reached an estimated in-person and virtual audience of 15,000 through speaking engagements, awareness events, workplace trainings and more. 415374 6861 SAVE maintains a set of educational resources available to organizations and individuals nationwide. These resources included wallet cards with QR codes linking to digital resources as well as booklets. In 2023, SAVE began the process of updating all materials for republication beginning in 2024. To continue providing much needed resources, SAVE developed a set of one-page resources and provided them free of charge. Hundreds of copies of each of the 10 resource documents were provided for individuals, mental health fairs, and organizations. 198130 SAVE provides support and community for suicide loss survivors through several efforts. SAVE maintains a publicly searchable support group database with over 375 nationwide listings, facilitating connections among suicide loss survivors. At requests from organizations and individuals, SAVE distributes grief packets to families, containing information about suicide grief and mental health services. Loss survivor families are also able to set up memorial funds in name of the person they lost to suicide, with SAVE hosting memorial pages for each tribute. These pages allow families to include photos and biographical information about their loved one. SAVE maintained over 150 live pages in 2023, with hundreds of other memorials opting for the physical memorial in SAVE's office only, in lieu of that and the online page. These initiatives are crucial for supporting individuals in coping with suicide bereavement, fostering healing, and building resilience. 1107556 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 24 0 1 11 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 15 15 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 MN X X X The Organization 9529467998 7900 Xerxes Ave S Ste 810 Bloomington MN 55431 Daniel Reidenberg Executive Director (until July 2023) 40.00 X 135060 0 52080 Erich Mische Executive Director (start Aug. 2023) 40.00 X 59485 0 22284 Pete Theisen Interim Executive Director 40.00 X 52615 0 0 Joseph Stackhouse President (until Dec. 2023) 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Patrick Klinger President 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Lesli Preuss Vice President 2.00 X 0 0 0 Eric Bergh Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Mike Ericson Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Nick Halverson Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Joi Thomas Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Kristin Auge Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Shannon Carbone Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Phil Kluesner Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Valerie Martin Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Rich Narendran Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Cindy Koebele Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 John Apitz Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Brian Hubbard Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 247160 0 74364 1 0 1 0 0 231725 95339 577891 904955 Speaking fees 900099 28007 28007 Publication income 900099 6861 6861 34868 23083 23083 175968 231725 152334 23634 23634 20812 5706 15106 15106 1001646 34868 0 61823 X 321523 289371 16076 16076 328259 295433 16413 16413 7535 6781 377 377 27196 24478 1359 1359 46857 42171 2343 2343 13342 13342 59230 59230 176334 176334 13445 13445 39538 35584 2083 1871 41937 37743 2097 2097 51720 46549 3536 1635 23560 21911 471 1178 38997 35097 3900 2023 708 850 465 40975 36878 2868 1229 Miscellaneous 27903 25111 1954 838 Bank charges and credit 26684 13342 13342 Repairs and maintenance 7118 6620 498 1294176 1107556 140739 45881 297820 491549 385392 43111 34273 590 13918 17923 16956 13706 5273 3250 843567 828392 80788 51105 1704142 1392809 141696 99434 75632 45949 217328 145383 X 1481814 1242827 5000 4599 1486814 1247426 1704142 1392809 -292530 53142 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1086664 781709 1296956 1239384 904955 5309668 1086664 781709 1296956 1239384 904955 5309668 5309668 3596 8683 9439 9583 23083 54384 203024 4261 13548 22655 196780 440268 5804320 312417 0.91480 0.95200 X Part II Line 10 Other income is comprised of SAVE merchandise, fundraising income, and program revenue.
