National Life Peace of Mind Fund

This year, we've established the National Life Peace of Mind Fund to support youth mental health, one of our core causes. All proceeds from this year's Do Good Fest will be distributed to five Vermont nonprofits who help children and young adults struggling with mental health challenges.

Why It Matters

A significant number of young people in our state are struggling with stress, anxiety, and depression during a time when they should be building confidence and self-esteem, and access to mental health support isn’t guaranteed for young people. The organizations supported by the National Life Peace of Mind Fund are helping change that.

They’re creating safe spaces, providing critical resources, and making sure more youth feel seen, supported, and not alone. Through Do Good Fest, we can help youth thrive and build a stronger, more resilient Vermont.
