Charities We Support
The Serious Side of Bipolar Bear
Bipolar Bear’s goal is make you laugh while you help raise serious money for bipolar research, education and support services.
So 30% of net proceeds from sales of the Bipolar Bear iPhone App is donated directly to one of the following non-profit organizations.
We’ll start distributing the funds on a monthly basis after we’ve sold a total of 1,000 apps. Every month, you’ll get the chance to decide which charity gets that month’s check by voting in our online Poll.
