If you’re interested in getting involved
You’ve come to the right place. We have big dreams for how NEXT will support people who use drugs. Our vision is to build a nationwide platform that supports immediate needs, connects people into the resources available in their own communities, and consolidates harm reduction resources into one platform to ensure solid education and best practices are a click away.
If you share our vision, please join our team of fundraisers, volunteers, and advocates.
Fundraising
As you can imagine, fundraising is our most immediate need.
Cash on Hand: We need folks to reach out to their networks to support individual and private donations. Every centraised goes to essential costs such as funding shipping supplies, program supplies, and postage.. We’re happy to talk through individual giving, restricted donations, or anything else related to funding that you might be wondering about. Please link your network to our Donation page or reach out to us at info@nextdistro.org for questions.
Long-Term Needs: We have been fortunate to have the support of wonderful foundations to support the start-up costs related to building NEXT’s syringe access program. However, folks across the country are requesting we provide support in their communities and within their state. We need larger donations, grant funds, and private foundation funds to support our expansion and enrich our ability to provide more services and more support, to a greater number of people.
One-time and recurring tax-deductible donation options – including Venmo, Paypal, CashApp, and Amazon wish list – are available on our Donation Page.
VOLUNTEERS
NEXT Distro is in need of passionate volunteers who are interested in making an impact with us.
