“Management and members of the Finance Committee reviewed and approved the draft Federal Form 990. Subsequently, the draft Form was submitted to the entire board for questions and comments. Any questions and comments were fully resolved before the return was filed.”

“The Jed Foundation has a written conflict of interest policy for its Board members and officers and each member and officer is required to complete and submit an annual conflict of interest report. This documentation is reviewed by the executive committee. Potential conflicts are addressed by the disinterested board members and, if necessary, addressed by the Board as a whole.”

“Compensation is reviewed annually by the Executive Committee through an in person meeting or conference call. The recommendations of this committee are then passed on to the full Board for consideration.”

“Each year, as soon as the documents are available, the Form 990 and audited financial statements are put on the Foundation's website. The Form 1023 is available upon request.”

“Mission Statement- The JED Foundation (JED) is a not-for-profit organization incorporated in 2000. The JED Foundation's mission is to prevent suicide and protect the emotional health of teens and young adults. We're partnering with high schools and colleges to strengthen their mental health, substance abuse and suicide prevention programs and systems. We're equipping teens and young adults with the skills and knowledge to help themselves and each other. We're encouraging community awareness, understanding and action for young adult mental health. JED operates administrative offices in New York, NY, and is supported primarily through contributions, special event revenue and earned income.”

“Higher Education- JED supports and empowers campus communities to strengthen student mental health, substance misuse and suicide prevention efforts. This work with colleges and universities is grounded in the evidence-based practice of our Comprehensive Approach to Mental Health Promotion and Suicide Prevention. JED supports schools through advising support, communication and education programs as well as through our signature programs within higher education, JED Campus. JED Campus is designed to guide schools through a collaborative process of comprehensive systems, program and policy development with customized support to build upon existing student mental health, substance misuse and suicide prevention efforts. JED Campuses embark on a four-year strategic partnership with JED that not only assesses and enhance the work that is already being done, but helps to create positive, systemic change in the campus community.”

“High School- JED is continuing to grow its High School Programming with a focus on emotional preparation for the transition from high school to college. JED's key high school program is Set to Go (settogo.org), which launched in 2017. Set to Go guides students, families and high school educators through important social, emotional and mental health considerations related to the transition out of high school to college and adulthood. In 2019, Set to Go is reaching at least 500,000 teens and parents with essential information and resources about emotional health and well-being. A new Set to Go curriculum is being piloted in several high schools across the country and JED resources are reaching 1,700 schools (includes all grades K-12) in the New York City area through a partnership with the Department of Education's School Mental Health program, The Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City, and ThriveNYC. We also began work to develop our Comprehensive Approach to Mental Health and Suicide Prevention for High Schools. This framework will provide a series of recommendations for schools on how to approach mental health and suicide prevention and form the basis of the technical assistance we provide to them. In addition, in partnership with the Healthy Minds Network at the University of Michigan, we began work on a Healthy Minds for High School survey, the first national survey instrument to assess the prevalence of mental health issues among high school students and gain insight into their attitudes about mental health.”

“Youth and Community Campaigns and Education- JED develops public education campaigns, expert resources and creates powerful partnerships to ensure more teens and young adults get access to the resources and support they need to navigate life's challenges. We strive to educate and equip students, families and communities to know when and how to support themselves and others who are in distress or struggling with a mental health issue. In partnership with Ad Council and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), JED operates a national campaign, Seize the Awkward (seizethawkward.org), that encourages teens and young adults to start a conversation with a friend who may be struggling with mental health issues. Other programs include: Love is Louder(LOVEISLOUDER.COM): An online community working together to build a world where we all feel connected and supported Ulifeline(ULIFELINE.ORG): A mental health resource center for college students that provides information about emotional health issues and the resources available on their campus. It also offers a confidential mental health self-screening tool. Half of Us (HALFOFUS.COM): An award-winning program from JED and MTV featuring a library of free-for-use videos including PSAs, celebrities and students talking about their personal experiences with mental health and substance use. JED Storytellers(YOUTUBE.COM/JEDFOUNDATION): Each year, JED trains individuals from all over the country who have been affected by mental health to share their authentic, inspiring personal stories to let others know they are not alone and help is available.”
