10 men's health projects your donations have funded in 2022
Mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer – we’re taking them all on.
Since 2003, with money raised by the Movember community, we've funded more than 1,250 men’s health projects.
From game-changing mental health initiatives that straight-up save lives to global breakthroughs in cancer research and treatment – this is where the money goes.
1. Better conversations
Men sometimes aren’t comfortable reaching out about challenges they’re facing. Our new digital tool gives you the confidence to have better conversations with the men in your life who may be struggling. Try it here
2. Supporting better social connections
Using the money raised by our epic community, we’ve been able to fund 11 new mental health initiatives including Hello Jack by Knot Lab, a Toronto-based project that allows older men to connect with younger men who are looking to learn new skills.

3. Supporting men to be better dads
Movember’s Family Man is the world’s first parenting program designed with dads in mind. It helps men tackle the kicking, screaming and WTF moments of being a dad. Try it here
4. Tackling testicular cancer
Testicular cancer is a lot to deal with. We recruited a team of guides from all over the world – guys who have had testicular cancer before – and given them training on how to listen, be supportive and have your back. Check out Nuts & Bolts
