FAQs

Brightli Foundation (philanthropic arm for Brightli and all Brightli member organizations) will merge into the Centerstone Foundation and adopt the Centerstone Foundation brand upon go-live in November, as part of the larger merger between Brightli and Centerstone. The foundation will still serve as the philanthropic arm for all providers and as your philanthropy contact/customer service.

Donors can still donate directly to Brightli member organizations to impact their local behavioral health services. Each member organization’s donation page is listed below. 

  • Burrell Behavioral Health: https://www.burrellcenter.com/donate 
  • Comprehensive Mental Health Serivces: https://thecmhs.com/donate/ 
  • Preferred Family Healthcare: https://pfh.org/donate/ 
  • Clarity Healthcare: https://www.clarity-healthcare.org/donate 
  • Firefly Supported Living and Employment Services: https://www.fireflyservices.org/donate 
  • Southeast Missouri Behavioral Health: https://semobh.org/donate/ 
  • Places for People: https://www.placesforpeople.org/give/ 
  • Adult & Child:  https://adultandchild.org/donate/ 

Funders will be notified when their Brightli member organization name changes and how giving to their local behavioral health provider will still be possible.   

Past donations will still be used as intended.   

All forms of payment we have previously collected are still accepted. Acknowledgements will still be given out for all donations. 

Foundation staff from Brightli Foundation and Centerstone Foundation are all being retained and no one is asked to relocate. Once the teams are merged together, there will be 26 staff members supporting philanthropy efforts. This will enhance our organization’s impact!
