How to Support Partnership to End Addiction

Updated

You can support Partnership to End Addiction in three main ways described on its site: donating through its Ways to Give program, joining its advocacy efforts, and participating in its Endurance Teams. The organization also invites professionals and organizations to partner through its business services team. Which option fits you depends on whether you want to give money, give time and voice, or give through an activity like a fundraising event.

Donate Through Ways to Give

The site's "Ways to Give" section describes "the many ways to donate, providing families with vital tools to combat addiction." This is the most direct route if you want your contribution to fund the organization's family-facing work, such as its helpline, text-messaging support, and online support groups.

The site does not list specific donation amounts, payment platforms, or membership tiers in the material available, so check the Ways to Give page directly for current options before you decide.

Join Advocacy in Action

"Advocacy In Action" is described as how the organization drives policy change and empowers communities to raise up solutions to critical issues. This path suits you if you would rather lend your voice than your wallet — for example, by supporting policy positions or community-level efforts around substance use and addiction.

Because advocacy work is often tied to specific legislation and campaigns, the practical steps (signing petitions, contacting representatives, joining local efforts) will change over time. Treat the Advocacy page as the starting point rather than a fixed program.

Take Part in Endurance Teams

The site lists "Our Endurance Teams" under Support Us. This is an activity-based way to support the organization — typically joining a team to raise funds through an athletic or endurance event. It fits people who want to combine fundraising with a personal challenge and who prefer a group effort over a one-time donation.

The available material does not specify which events, seasons, or fundraising minimums apply, so confirm those details on the Endurance Teams page.

Partner as a Professional or Organization

If you work for an organization, school, or clinical practice, the "Professional & Community Services" section describes a separate support route. The organization says it leverages research and industry knowledge to empower organizations and professionals, and it offers:

  • Partner Networks — collaborate to develop and share research-backed messages on substance use and addiction
  • Prevention Resources — work with prevention professionals on evidence-based strategies to reduce youth substance use
  • Trainings — self-paced, live virtual, and in-person options for providers, clinicians, educators, and other youth-serving professionals
  • Business services — custom solutions; the site invites you to contact the team about your goals

This route is about extending the organization's reach through your own work rather than donating.

A Practical First Step

Before committing, decide what you can offer — money, time, voice, or organizational reach — and open the matching section of the site. The organization's overall mission is to help families find answers around substance use and addiction, so any of these paths connects back to that work. If you are unsure, the Ways to Give page is the simplest entry point, and the business services team is the right contact if you are approaching this as a professional or organization.
