How to Get Involved and Support B.I.O.N.I.C.
Thanks for visiting our Donate page to see how you can support B.I.O.N.I.C. with your time, money, or talents! There are several ways you can participate financially:
Our B.I.O.N.I.C. Team nonprofit has made a significant impact in many areas and we would love to share with you stories of the difference we have made across the world.
You can give a general donation that will help fund our efforts in expanding groups and schools. Some examples of giving to guide you in your donation decision are:
Sponsor a school B.I.O.N.I.C. Team to become officially certified. For new schools starting a team it costs $1,200. To renew each year after that it costs $600. It costs our nonprofit about $2,000 to provide all of the support we offer to the schools each year, but we want to keep the cost as low as possible to the schools while raising the other money through fundraisers. We have had over 140 schools across the world start B.I.O.N.I.C. Teams the last four years, but 90 of them don't have the money to renew for next year because of budget cuts due to declining enrollment or teachers leaving the profession so a lot of money is being spent on recruitment, etc. So we are hoping to raise over $50,000 this summer to help those schools and others contacting us to start B.I.O.N.I.C. Teams during these difficult times. In July we will be presenting a workshop at the American School Counselor Association conference, and we always have schools wanting to sign up at that time. Please help them be able to do that with a gift of any amount.

Alumni Legacy Builders - $100 every month or a $1,200.00 gift each year - Some B.I.O.N.I.C. Alumni (participated in a B.I.O.N.I.C. Team when you were in school), have said that because of how B.I.O.N.I.C. helped them learn skills or get scholarships and awards that have helped them do well in life, they want to help B.I.O.N.I.C. in a bigger way. So we have created the Legacy Builders which alumni can join by donating $100 every month or a $1,200 one time gift each year. You will receive a B.I.O.N.I.C.

Our kids are in crisis more than ever and suicide has become the second leading cause of death for young people. The American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, and the Children's Hospital Association have declared a "National State of Emergency for Children's Mental Health." This year school shootings are expected to see numbers at an all time high. So we are pushing to get B.I.O.N.I.C. Teams into more schools to provide that safety net for more students who will struggle. Your gift will help us start more B.I.O.N.I.C. Teams in schools and provide the support they need.

- S.T.O.P. Bullying Course - We have developed a S.T.O.P. Bullying Course to help parents know how to help equip their kids if they are bullied or see bullying. The courses also teaches parents how to talk with their children about bullying and how to help their kids recover as quickly as possible if they do get bullied. It includes tips in how to communicate better with kids and restart that process is the relationship is strained - which can happen as children get older. The course covers:
- Support your kids by creating awareness around what bullying is and what to do if they see it.
- Take action if your child is bullied to recover your child's emotional well-being as quickly as possible.
- Obtain strategies to prevent your kids from being bullied.
- Prevent future bullying in your community by empowering your circle, school, church and realm of influence in how to prevet bullying and raise awareness as a community.
