OKLAHOMA CITY — Paycom donated $33,000 to the National Alliance on Mental Illness through its employee giving program and company donation match, continuing a seven-year partnership supporting mental health initiatives.
The contribution will support NAMI‘s education, advocacy and mental health support programs, including operation of the NAMI HelpLine, a free nationwide peer-support service for individuals, caregivers and families affected by mental illness.
“Mental health support should feel accessible and woven into everyday life,” said Tanner Bergman, senior manager of well-being at Paycom. “That’s why supporting NAMI matters so much to us. NAMI is doing meaningful work every day to help people feel seen, supported and connected.”
NAMI, the nation’s largest grassroots mental health nonprofit, said demand for its services reached record levels in 2025. According to the organization, contacts to the NAMI HelpLine increased 23% over the prior year and exceeded demand levels seen during the COVID-19 pandemic. More than 93,000 people connected directly with the HelpLine, and more than 895,300 people visited the online HelpLine Knowledge Center.
“NAMI is so grateful for Paycom’s generous support over the years,” said Kate Kennedy-Lynch, national director of external relations at NAMI. “We appreciate that once again, Paycom employees have chosen to play an active role in supporting the mental health movement.”
In addition to philanthropic giving, Paycom said it provides employees with mental health and wellness resources including on-campus well-being advisers, wellness programs and $0 copay in-network therapy and counseling services.
Paycom’s employee giving program supports a range of nonprofit organizations focused on youth programs, disability support, mental health treatment and food assistance initiatives.
