Mission Statement

The Megan Butz Legacy of Hope was established in 2023 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization.

Our mission is to strengthen the lives of at-risk youth and young adults so they may be mentally healthy, receiving necessary mental health support, counseling, and education. We support programs that tackle tough issues like depression, anxiety, mental health and suicide.

Since we are an all-volunteer organization, your donations support community-based programs that prioritize strengthening mental health, building self-esteem, developing resilience and life skills, and expanding suicide awareness.

We aim to support youth and young adults in need, and in doing so will honor Meg’s spirit of kindness, giving back, and community volunteering.

With Meg’s Legacy of Hope, the goal is to assist and positively impact young people in the Greater Chicagoland area. Everyone deserves the opportunity to feel mentally healthy.

Our leadership team has many years of experience and a genuine commitment to helping youth and young adults. We fund programs that request and qualify for grants from Meg’s Legacy.
