Deadline: 1-Sep-22
The Ittleson Foundation’s Grant Program is now open for applications.
The Foundation annually alternates its new grantmaking between its Mental Health, AIDS and Environmental program areas. In 2022, the Foundation will be making new grants in the Mental Health and AIDS program area.
AIDS
- AIDS remains a significant concern of the Ittleson Foundation. Their commitment to supporting cutting-edge prevention efforts remains strong. As in all their current areas of interest, innovative initiatives that involve more than one program area are encouraged.
-
They are particularly interested in new model, pilot, and demonstration efforts:
- addressing the needs of underserved at-risk populations and especially those programs recognizing the overlap between such programs
- responding to the challenges facing community-based AIDS service organizations and those organizations addressing systemic change
- providing meaningful school-based sex education
- making treatment information accessible, available and easily understandable to those in need of it
- addressing the psycho-social needs of those infected and affected by AIDS, especially adolescents
Mental Health
-
Since 1932 Mental Health has been a major focus at the Ittleson Foundation. The Foundation continues its commitment to bringing its “venture capital” approach to philanthropy to this area. In addition to their historic commitment to addressing the needs of underserved populations, they are particularly interested in innovative, pilot, model and demonstration projects that are:
- fighting the stigma associated with mental illness and working to change the public’s negative perception of people who have mental illness
- utilizing new knowledge and current technological advances to improve programs and services for people who have mental illness
- bringing the full benefits of this new knowledge and technology to those who presently do not have access to them
- advancing preventative mental health efforts, especially those targeted to youth and adolescents, with a special focus on strategies that involve parents, teachers, and others in close contact with these populations
