Mental Health Awareness Training Grants
The purpose of this program is to facilitate the implementation of mental health awareness and literacy training.
Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health
The purpose of the Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health program is to develop or enhance evidence-based programs that promote social-emotional development and address mental health needs among infants and young children.
Maternal/Infant Health
The Foundation will prioritize funding for programs that improve maternal/infant health, target disparities, address social needs, and remove barriers to care throughout the pregnancy journey—from pre-conception support to postnatal care for mothers and babies. The programs should drive specific, measurable maternal/infant health outcomes.
Behavioral Health
The Foundation will prioritize funding for programs that increase the number of individuals receiving treatment for mental health (MH) and/or substance use disorders (SUD), support prevention and early-intervention strategies, and seek to reduce loneliness among individuals with these disorders.
Angel Philanthropy
The organization funds early-stage nonprofits with the potential to create positive, scalable impact but that have not yet demonstrated the effectiveness needed to secure growth funding or establish a sustainable model. Each year, it awards first-time grants ranging from $25,000 to $100,000. When an organization demonstrates significant progress, the funder works with its leadership to expand its programs and prepare it to attract larger funders that can support its growth.
Cerfified Community Behavioral Health Clinic Improvement and Advancement
The purpose of this program is to sustain and enhance services at existing Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs). This includes serving individuals across the lifespan with or at risk for mental health and/or substance use disorders (SUDs). CCBHCs are community-based clinics that offer coordinated, evidence-based outpatient services, including crisis services, while also enhancing access for anyone in need and coordinating care to mitigate gaps in care.
The MOORE Equity in Mental Health Community Grants Program
