Khyentse Foundation Trisong Grant Program

Deadline: 31-Mar-25

The Khyentse Foundation’s Trisong Grants aim to identify and support individuals and organizations that are working to promote mental health and well-being in the world, through projects and programs that have a foundation in Buddha’s wisdom.

In difficult and turbulent times, people may not know where to turn for help. Khyentse Foundation wants to find new ways for people to experience the benefits of Buddha’s teachings. Projects do not need to be overtly Buddhist, but they should be rooted in Buddhist view and practice and share in values that alleviate suffering, encourage emotional well-being, and strengthen both physical and mental health. They encourage applications that offer innovative, creative, and skillful solutions to sharing a Buddhist view of basic well-being. Most of the  applications come from Buddhist practitioners or groups.
