Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Our mission is building lives worth living together through dialectics, science, and storytelling.

Activities or mission (Part I)

We help people who want to build meaningful lives by offering free mental health resources and peer-led storytelling spaces for connection and coping.

  • In 2024, NowMattersNow.org made substantial progress in suicide prevention and support through research, program development, and expanded user engagement. These achievements reflect our commitment to providing accessible, evidence-based resources for those experiencing suicidal thoughts and intense emotions. Research Publication: We published a critical paper titled, Conceptual model of and intervention development for unplanned suicide attempts (Whiteside, U., Richards, J. A., Fruhbauerova, M., & Shokouhaghaei, G.), in The Permanente Journal, 28(3), 117 (2024).. This publication addresses the phenomenon of unplanned suicide attempts and a brief intervention for handling overwhelming suicidal urges. Website Reach and Crisis Connection: Our website engaged over 50,000 unique users in 2024. Through this online presence, we facilitated connections to live crisis services for 146 individuals in need of immediate support. Virtual Peer Support Pilot Program: We developed and piloted free virtual peer support meetings focused on emotion coping skills. We held 164 meetings for nearly 200 individuals seeking peer-led guidance. This reach demonstrates the practical impact of our free digital platform as a bridge to life-saving resources for those at risk. Grant Acquisition and Program Expansion: We received the second half of a significant grant that was used to enhance our website and develop a peer support program. This funding supported a comprehensive redesign of our website to improve accessibility, navigability, and functionality, making our resources more inclusive, particularly for users with disabilities. Long-term Project Goals: In alignment with our long-term mission, we have continued a project with goals extending into 2025 and beyond, including: Enhanced Website Accessibility: Creating a more accessible, user-centered website to support diverse user needs (e.g., adding search capabilities). Expanded DBT Content and Skills: We added 19 new DBT skills and plan to add an additional 20, each complemented by original content, lived experience stories, and community tips. These resources emphasize the "why" & "how" of skill application, equipping users with actionable strategies for emotional regulation and crisis management. Virtual Peer Support Pilot Program: Expanding offerings of virtual peer support meetings focused on emotion coping skills throughout 2025, aiming to establish a scalable model with a sustainable support network for individuals seeking peer-led guidance. These initiatives, combined with our digital reach and connections to crisis services, reflect NowMattersNow.org's dedication to making mental health resources accessible and impactful. Through these expanded efforts, we continue to bridge critical gaps in suicide prevention and emotional support.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 26 October 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
