Deadline: 14-Sep-2024
ChangeX, the community engagement platform, and Paramount Global, announced the launch of the World Mental Health Day Community Fund, a new multi-region mental health and well-being focused community fund.
This initiative is part of Paramount’s ongoing commitment to support mental health and well-being around the world. The World Mental Health Day Community Fund builds on the success of the U.S. focused grant program timed to Mental Health Action Day (the third Thursday in May) spearheaded by Paramount’s SHOWTIME/MTV Entertainment Studios and supported by select CBS-owned local stations. This year, grants were provided to 22 non-profit organisations reaching young people across the country for local activations.
Applicants can apply for funding for one of two options: to bring a proven mental health and well-being focused idea to life, such as mindful meals and sidewalk listening, or fund an original idea for a mental health and well-being focused community project. Funding to adopt proven ideas will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis to qualifying applicants.
Funding Information
- The fund will support up to 200 community projects with grants of up to $2,000 USD available.
Eligibility Criteria
- The fund will support communities to start or expand projects that positively impact mental health and well-being in the UK, Australia, Canada, Singapore, Mexico, Argentina, Germany, Netherlands, France and Chile.
- Communities can apply for funding now through September 14, 2024, to encourage action to commence on World Mental Health Day on October 10 2024.
