The Kate Spade New York Foundation will donate $1 million to suicide prevention and mental health awareness causes, following the death of the company co-founder on June 5 at the age of 55 at her apartment.

The donations will begin with $250,000 to the Crisis Text Line, and the brand will match public donations up to the amount of $100,000 made to the Crisis Text line between June 20 to 29.
