Summary
A significant funding opportunity is available to support organizations across Texas that are dedicated to improving community mental health, resilience, and overall well-being through inclusive and collaborative approaches. The funding aims to strengthen community-led solutions that address mental health disparities, particularly in underserved, rural, and border regions where access to quality care and support is often limited. Grants typically provide up to $75,000 per year and may extend for as many as five years, offering a potential total of $375,000 in support. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, public agencies, and institutions of higher education that are based in Texas or maintain an active presence within the state. Individual applicants and for-profit businesses are not eligible for this funding.
Funds may be used to expand or develop mental health programs, build organizational capacity, hire and train staff, strengthen community partnerships, or conduct evaluations and data-sharing initiatives that improve the understanding and effectiveness of mental health services. The grant prioritizes projects that take a community-based approach, focusing on local needs, culture, and resources. Applicants are encouraged to collaborate with other community organizations, schools, and health providers to ensure a comprehensive and sustainable response to mental health challenges.
The intent of this funding is to promote equity in access to mental health care, reduce stigma, and create lasting systems of support that can be maintained beyond the grant period. Proposals that include innovative strategies, participatory planning, and the inclusion of individuals with lived experience of mental health challenges are viewed favorably. In addition to financial support, selected recipients may receive technical assistance, evaluation tools, and opportunities to join peer-learning networks with other Texas-based organizations. This funding ultimately seeks to strengthen the mental health infrastructure across Texas, empowering communities to build resilience and improve the well-being of their residents.
