The Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority (Trust) Board of Trustees approved $9.8M in grants to beneficiary-serving organizations in the final quarter of fiscal year 2026.
Trust grants are awarded four times a year to Alaska nonprofits, Tribal entities, government agencies, and service providers that serve Trust beneficiaries. This quarter’s grants are a part of the Trust’s approximately $25 million annual grant program. Trust grants support direct services, capacity building, capital construction & equipment, data & planning, workforce development, and other beneficiary related initiatives.
“Trust beneficiaries across the state deserve timely access to the care and support they need to thrive,” said Mary Wilson MD, CEO of the Trust. “With funding for projects including youth prevention and intervention, housing for vulnerable Alaskans, and initiatives to strengthen crisis care and treatment services, this quarter’s Trust grants will help to improve beneficiary health outcomes. We are grateful to all our partners in Alaska who are using Trust funds to support our beneficiaries and our communities.”
