Join Our $20,000 Challenge!
Threshold Clubhouse is proud to participate for the first time in Clubhouse Giving Day, a global campaign in partnership with Clubhouse International and Fountain House that raises awareness and support for the gold standard Clubhouse Model. To kick off Mental Health Awareness Month, we are working toward a $20,000 fundraising goal to support Threshold programming and care coordination, creating more opportunities for our members. Giving begins April 27 and remains open throughout the month of May.
To help drive this effort, longtime supporters Jonathan Beard and Grace Nordhoff have offered a $20,000 challenge grant that will be fulfilled if we meet our goal. Every gift helps strengthen a community-based model of mental health recovery built on connection, purpose, and opportunity. We invite you to join us in supporting our members, advancing recovery, and helping us meet the challenge.

48th Legislative Breakfast on Mental Health
On Saturday, February 7, Threshold staff, interns, and a member proudly participated in the 48th Legislative Breakfast on Mental Health at the Friday Center. This annual event is one we look forward to each year as we stand alongside others to support and advocate for our mental health community. Events like this create meaningful opportunities for advocacy by bringing together legislators, providers, and community members to discuss the future of mental health services in North Carolina. Threshold was honored to serve as a Bronze Sponsor. Our team had the opportunity to share information about Threshold with community members and mental health professionals who had never heard of our program, while also reconnecting with longtime supporters.
