PLEASE LIVE GRANT FUND

THE PLEASE LIVE FOUNDATION BEGAN WITH A SIMPLE MESSAGE TO THOSE CONSIDERING
SUICIDE: PLEASE LIVE. A SHORT AND TO-THE-POINT PLEA TO END THE TRAGIC LOSS OF
LIFE TO SUICIDE.

SUICIDE PREVENTION IS A MULTI-FACETED GOAL, AND THE PLEASE LIVE GRANT SEEKS TO
FINANCIALLY ASSIST ANY ORGANIZATION THAT IS TACKLING SUICIDE PREVENTION IN
PENNSYLVANIA.



HISTORY:

PLEASE LIVE BEGAN AS AN EDUCATIONAL NONPROFIT FOUNDED BY ALEXA MOODY AT 19 YEARS
OLD. THE 3-PRONGED PROGRAM AIMED TO BRING SUICIDE PREVENTION RESOURCES TO THE
COMMUNITY THROUGH SCHOOL-BASED EVENTS; A PROFESSIONAL TRAINING FOR TEACHERS AND
STAFF, AN EDUCATIONAL ASSEMBLY FOR STUDENTS, AND A HEALTH AND RESOURCE FAIR FOR
SERVICE AGENCIES.

AS COMMUNITY AND EDUCATIONAL NEEDS SHIFTED AND ACCESS TO ALTERNATIVE FORMS OF
SUICIDE PREVENTION EDUCATION EXPANDED, ESPECIALLY AFTER THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC,
PLEASE LIVE PIVOTED FROM BEING THE EDUCATORS TO THE FUNDERS, UTILIZING THE
SUPPORT WE GARNERED OVER A DECADE TO BETTER SUPPORT NEW AND EMERGING PROGRAMS.

TODAY, THE PLEASE LIVE FUND, MANAGED BY THE FOUNDATION FOR ENHANCING
COMMUNITIES, CONTINUES TO TACKLE MENTAL HEALTH EDUCATION, EARLY INTERVENTION,
AND SUICIDE PREVENTION THROUGH GRANTS. AS PLEASE LIVE’S HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
STARTED WITH A GROUP OF TEENAGERS TAKING A RISK, WE ENCOURAGE ANY ORGANIZATION –
NO MATTER HOW BIG OR SMALL – TO APPLY FOR OUR GRANT. WE ARE ESPECIALLY
INTERESTED IN PROGRAMS THAT INCLUDE STUDENT LEADERSHIP AND PARTICIPATION AND
THOSE THAT BREAK DOWN BARRIERS FOR SEEKING TREATMENT.
