Helping make specialized OCD care more accessible.
The OCDMN Access Fund helps reduce financial barriers to specialized OCD and anxiety treatment and supports community education about OCD.
The fund is fiscally sponsored by NOPI, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Donations are tax-deductible.
Cost is making treatment harder to access.
If you live in Minnesota and financial circumstances are making specialized OCD or anxiety care difficult to afford, the Access Fund may be able to help with part or all of eligible treatment costs. You can apply before treatment begins or while you are already receiving care.
Help someone access specialized care.
Donations help subsidize treatment and support community education, provider training, and outreach that improves access to effective OCD care.
If cost is getting in the way of care, you can apply.
The Access Fund is designed to help Minnesota residents facing financial barriers to specialized treatment at OCDMN. You do not need to already be an OCDMN client to apply. If cost is preventing you from starting treatment, you may apply before your first appointment.
Awards are based on financial need, clinical appropriateness, and available Access Fund resources.

A simple, dignity-centered process.
You do not need to have every financial detail figured out before applying. Estimates are okay, and applying will not affect your care at OCDMN.
Apply.
Tell us about your treatment needs, current financial circumstances, and what is making care difficult to afford.
We review.
Applications are considered based on financial need, clinical appropriateness, and the Access Fund resources currently available.
We respond.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and we typically respond within about two weeks.
Support begins.
Support may cover part or all of eligible treatment costs, depending on financial need and available Fund resources. If approved, we will explain the amount and expected duration of support before it begins.
You do not need to belong to a particular demographic group to apply. We are especially committed to reducing barriers for communities that have historically had less access to specialized OCD treatment, while considering applications based on individual need and available resources.
Your donation helps someone get specialized care.
Access Fund donations are held by our fiscal sponsor, NOPI, and support treatment access and community education related to OCD.
Donations are tax-deductible through NOPI, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
Treatment Access
Help reduce the cost of specialized OCD and anxiety treatment for people who otherwise may not be able to access or continue care.
Community Education
Support public education, provider training, and outreach to communities with limited access to specialized OCD knowledge and care.
Responsible Stewardship
NOPI retains 10% of contributions as an administrative cost share for bookkeeping, compliance, insurance, and financial oversight. The remainder supports the Access Fund’s charitable work.
More funding means more flexibility to respond when someone needs help.
Our current fundraising goal is $10,000. Contributions of any size help build a more reliable source of support for treatment access and community education.
Specialized care can be difficult to access.
Specialized OCD treatment can be financially out of reach when clinicians are out of network, insurance benefits are limited, or the cost of specialized care exceeds what a person or family can reasonably afford.
The Access Fund helps close part of that gap while allowing OCDMN to maintain specialized, evidence-based treatment.
Make access possible all year.
Recurring gifts create a more predictable source of funding so the Access Fund can respond when someone needs help rather than relying only on one-time fundraising campaigns.
Monthly gifts support treatment access, community education, and the long-term sustainability of the Fund.
