Behavioral Health grant FAQ
Who funds behavioral health programs?
Behavioral Health programs are funded by the same health ecosystem as the rest of the field: HRSA, SAMHSA, and the CDC at the federal level, the state and county health departments that administer and re-grant federal public health and block-grant funds, and private and community foundations. Some funders run dedicated lines; many fund this work through broader health and public health programs.
What can behavioral health grants pay for?
Funding for behavioral and mental health programs — community mental health services, crisis and suicide prevention, trauma-informed care, and integrated behavioral health — for community mental health centers, FQHCs, clinics, and health nonprofits. Typical eligible costs include clinical and program staff time, treatment and care services, curriculum and equipment, participant and patient supportive services, outreach, and program operations for FQHCs, clinics, treatment providers, county health departments, and health nonprofits.
How do I find behavioral health grants I'm eligible for?
