Strengthen Human Connection in Recovery
We believe lasting recovery from gambling harm is powered by human connection. Our mission is to strengthen and sustain peer-led support systems rooted in lived experience, compassion, and trust.
Gambling is everywhere. Support should be, too.
The Evive Foundation provides help for gambling problems to everyone—regardless of income, location, or insurance status.

Our Mission
The Evive Foundation advances accessible, evidence-based support for people and families navigating challenges related to gambling, gaming, and other activities. We bridge digital innovation with human connection, by fostering peer support, amplifying voices of lived experience, and offering the Evive digital platform to everyone, regardless of income or location.
Reduce Stigma and Elevate Hope
We work to break shame and silence by amplifying authentic stories of recovery. By centering lived experience, we help change public narratives and show that recovery is real and possible.
Ensure Equitable Access to Support
No one should be denied help because of cost, location, or circumstance. We are committed to ensuring that support for gambling harm is accessible to all communities, especially those historically underserved.
