The Hogg Foundation for Mental Health invites eligible organizations in Texas to respond to the request for Letters of Interest (LOI) for the Pathways for Success initiative for Strengthening Mental Health and Well-Being for Transition-Age Youth of Color and their Families.
Goal
The goal of the initiative is to increase opportunities for success of transition-age youth of color and their families (TAYCF) by strengthening their mental health and well-being. Through this initiative, the foundation intends to fund Black, Indigenous, and/or people of color (BIPOC)-led organizations with a history of providing culturally responsive programs, resources, and support for TAYCF. The foundation is particularly interested in organizations that have supported TAYCF during this time of heightened racial injustice, race-related trauma, and the pandemic.
Proposed Activities
- Activities proposed by applicants seeking funding through this initiative should consider the following questions:
- How has my organization supported TAYCF during this time of racial injustice, race related trauma, and the pandemic.
- How can my organization support TAYCF to successfully transition to adulthood How can my organization help contribute to creating a stronger support system for TAYCF
- If awarded, how could the funding support the programs and resources they currently provide to TAYCF.
Funding Information
- In partnership with the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, the foundation plans to offer up to $54,000 to each awarded grant partner. This funding opportunity will be offered over two years, for up to ten eligible organizations, governmental entities and/or educational institutions, ready to launch or expand existing programs, resources and support for TAYCF in their communities.
Eligibility Criteria
- The foundation intends to fund and support BIPOC-led organizations with demonstrated commitment, expertise, and leadership serving TAYCF, whose values, vision, and mission align with the goals of the initiative.
- This funding opportunity will be offered over two years, for up to ten eligible organizations ready to launch or expand existing programs, resources and support for TAYCF in their communities.
