Behavioral Health

The Trust awards mini grants with an annual limit of one award per beneficiary depending upon need. Mini grants are only awarded to an agency on behalf of an individual.


 

This grant program provides Trust beneficiaries with a broad range of equipment, supplies and services to improve their quality of life, increase independent functioning and help them attain and maintain healthy and productive lifestyles. These may include, but are not limited to, therapeutic devices, access to special health care, and other supplies or services that might improve an individual’s ability to function in the community and become self-sufficient.

The Trust no longer wants or requires documentation regarding the diagnosis or other Protected Health Information (PHI) regarding the applicant individual. Do not include documentation such as diagnosis forms, letters of support, or medical records to the application. Cost estimates will still be required to be attached to all mini grant requests. More information about documentation can be found in the grant guidelines.

September 14, 2026: The BH Mini Grant Program has reopened for new applications.
