To honor Danielle Leedy's life by raising awareness, empowering and comforting those struggling with depression, anxiety, self-worth issues and suicidal thoughts through advocacy, education, resources and community support.
33 Forever Inc centers its giving on the memory of Danielle Leedy, with support aimed at awareness, empowerment, and comfort for people struggling with depression, anxiety, self-worth issues, and suicidal thoughts. That memorial purpose shapes a mix of mental health education, suicide prevention, and direct support for care settings in Ohio. One of the clearest signals of that approach is the $110,000 grant to The Ohio State University Fdn in Columbus, directed to behavioral health-related work, alongside a $100,000 grant to Akron Childrens Hospital Foundation in Akron. The foundation also backs community-facing mental health efforts through smaller awards, including support for Ohio Suicide Prevention Foundation. Beyond clinical and nonprofit partners, 33 Forever Inc funds education and awareness programming for students, parents, educators, and community members, and it maintains a scholarship program in Danielle Leedy’s name for local high school seniors. The result is a giving pattern that connects public education, crisis support, and youth-focused remembrance through local Ohio institutions and community organizations.
Mental health education is a central part of 33 Forever Inc’s grantmaking. The foundation underwrites programs for middle school, high school, and college audiences, including NAMI programs, Ending The Silence, and NAMI on Campus chapters. In clinical support, it made a $110,000 grant to The Ohio State University Fdn in Columbus for behavioral health-related work tied to care and follow-up support. Youth support also appears through the $100,000 grant to Akron Childrens Hospital Foundation in Akron, which fits the foundation’s focus on depression, anxiety, and suicide prevention. Community-based prevention shows up in the $5,250 grant to Ohio Suicide Prevention Foundation in Columbus, aligning with its emphasis on awareness, education, and support for people facing crisis.
The foundation’s grant sizes are relatively concentrated: the 25th percentile is $76,312, the median is $105,000, and the 75th percentile is $137,588. That suggests a tendency toward mid-sized awards rather than many small grants. The recent record also shows a mix of a large charitable contribution and program-specific grants, including an endowed fund for behavioral health urgent care support. Grants are local and all reported recipient locations are in Ohio. The scholarship program is recurring annually, while the other program and institutional grants reflect ongoing support through named partners and sponsored programming. It does not accept unsolicited applications for its educational programming or behavioral health fund, though the scholarship program does.
