The need surrounding mental health in Australia is huge.
There is also enormous possibility and potential to make a difference, develop innovative concepts and programs, and keep rolling out more mental health supports across Australia.
At The Grants Hub, we are privileged to learn about so many ideas that people have to make a difference, whether it be on a local, regional or national level. Foundations and organisations continue to be established, and existing organisations grow. Mental health initiatives are gaining momentum; they are literally changing lives and helping turn people’s stories around.
When we use what we’ve got, whether it be talents and abilities, personal experience, trauma, a heart to make a difference, or the resources to back people, people are brought together and sparking small and big impact.
If you are working in any area of mental health, below are some mental health specific grants currently open that are worth checking out. Thank you to these funders: you are contributing to an area of vast need!
As with any funding program, we recommend that you:
-
Consider each opportunity carefully by reading the full grant guidelines
-
Check whether the grant meets your mission
-
Check that the funding provider’s values and target areas align with your organisation or business and project concept
-
Contact the funding provider to run your concept past them
-
Submit an application if they give you the green light.
While these grants specifically mention they will fund mental health initiatives, most wellbeing focused funding providers will consider funding mental health projects as well.
