The post Noah Kahan Raises Over $2 Million for Mental Health with Busyhead Project appeared first on Consequence .

Noah Kahan has used his platform to be an outspoken advocate for mental health betterment, and it’s clear that he doesn’t just talk the talk, but really walks the walk. Since founding his fundraising initiative, The Busyhead Project, last year, the Vermont singer-songwriter has raised over $2 million to aid mental health resources nationwide, including in rural communities

Housed under the Vermont Community Foundation and aided by the sailworks non-profit, The Busyhead Project raises funds from ticket sales, direct donations, and other offerings (like livestream tickets), and directs donations to organizations “selected by Noah for their commitment to mental health awareness, with an emphasis on local impact by providing access to resources,” according to a press release from the project.

When it was first launched, Busyhead had a goal of raising $1 million within its first year, but doubled expectations. As of now, not all the money has been distributed, but over 55 organizations have already received funding.

Among the organizations benefiting are Bring Change to Mind, Jack.org, Oasis Center, Project Venture, Rural Behavioral Health Institute, Upper Valley Haven, and more.
