ABOUT OAF
WHO WE ARE
The One Arrow Foundation (501c3) exists to honor those lost to suicide, overdose, and alcohol-related deaths by supporting the people and programs working to prevent them. We raise funds, share stories, and fuel solutions that make recovery possible and mental health care more accessible — especially in the places that need it most.
Our vision is a future where we invest in recovery before we bury the people who needed it.
WHAT WE'RE BUILDING
First & foremost, our efforts are building a conversation-first movement that changes how our country talks about mental health, substance use, and recovery.
We strive to:
-
Center honest conversation and connection as prevention
-
Use the 250th anniversary of the United States and 1776 miles as a powerful “then vs. now” metaphor
-
Establish The Recovery Road as a visible, human presence through a speaking-based journey in our backyard
-
Build trusted partnerships across mental health, substance use, healthcare, and advocacy
-
Fundraising supports the work, but conversation is the movement.
WHY IT MATTERS
Too many people are still suffering in silence. Too many families experience loss before help arrives. Systems are strained, stigma persists, and access remains uneven.
This moment – culturally and historically – demands visibility, honesty, and leadership. OAF meets people where they are and invites them into dialogue before crisis, before isolation, and before loss.
