$2,500 Goal


BFF Leaders were tired of seeing programs cut, funding slashed, and kids still struggling. A new option for our youth was needed. And we decided to create that option ourselves.

At Better Feelings, we believe that every child deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported. Our mission is to champion mental health awareness and raise funding for vital resources for children facing depression. Through events, fundraising initiatives, community partnerships, and outreach, we strive to break stigmas, build hope, and create pathways that immediately and positively impact children in the greater Denver and Boulder metros.

Better Feelings Foundation supports children in the community in many ways, but we have specific funds that give back to defined needs. 

  • The BFF Therapy Fund raises money and pays for therapy sessions for kids whose family otherwise couldn't afford them.
  • The BFF Scholarship Fund helps but money towards the continued education of graduating high school seniors in the area.
  • The BFF Events and Programming Fund establishes recurring and one-off events and activities for children in the area to participate in at little to no cost to them.
  • The BFF Third-Party Causes Fund directs revenue raised towards programs and initiatives conducted by other nonprofits that directly impact children in the community.

Mission

Our mission is to champion mental health awareness and raise funding for vital resources for children facing depression. Through events, inclusive fundraising initiatives, community partnerships, and compassionate outreach, we strive to break stigmas, build hope, and create pathways to healing.

Background Statement

Founded in September 2025 after a year of dedicated planning by Iggy Michniacki, with the support of Dru Girouex, Danielle Treat, and Stacey Ziegelbauer, our nonprofit was born from a shared belief: that every child deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported.

We exist to champion mental health awareness and to raise vital funding for children facing depression, because every child deserves access to mental health resources and the chance to thrive.

Though we are just beginning our journey, the response has already been inspiring. In our first quarter, we raised nearly $1,000, a testament to the compassion and commitment of our growing community of supporters.

Our story is one of hope, collaboration, and determination. Together, we are building a future where children’s mental health is prioritized, resources are accessible, and awareness leads to action.
