To: Former, Present & Future Grantees

At our recent Annual Board meeting, we decided to focus our 2026 mental health and education grants for children, families, and programs as follows:

1.     Program grants from $1,000-$5000 that will allow a nonprofit organization working in the areas of mental health and/or education to add programmatic elements to their work that would not be possible otherwise. To qualify for the full $5,000 grant, a nonprofit would have to commit to matching our grant. A portion of these grants is reserved for new grantees.

2.     Expand Staff Appreciation Awards and Awards for Service to Children and Families - with an attached honorarium of $250 - to recognize individual commitment and dedication to the youth, families, and organizations they serve.

3.     Continue to offer grants from $100-$1,000 for individuals and families in need of one-time immediate support.

For some of you, we have supported your work in the past and want to continue doing so, if only in a modest way. For others, we want you to know of our available support and grants.

Our application process is simple, usually needing no more than one page of explanation of the need, the amount, and how it will be used. Check out our website at the link below.

Let us know if we can help you pursue any of our four targeted priorities listed above.

Additionally, if you know of other individuals or programs that might benefit from our support, please let them and us know, as your recommendation would go a long way toward our consideration of that individual’s or organization’s needs.
