The Colorado Department of Agriculture has opened up the application period for a new grant that aims to support access to mental and behavioral health services in rural communities.
Donor Name: Colorado Department of Agriculture
State: Colorado
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 11/07/2022
Size of the Grant: $25,000-$100,000
Details:
The Department received an appropriation of $200,000 during the 2022 legislative session to support mental health services for farmers, ranchers, agricultural workers, and their communities.
Mental health is directly tied to the overall health of their rural and agricultural communities and this funding will help bolster and expand this work to impact more Coloradans.
CDA is looking to Colorado’s community of mental and behavioral health providers to think creatively about ways to reach rural communities and expand information about and access to services.
Through this grant, CDA worked with five sub-grantee organizations to increase culturally competent training for crisis responders and increase awareness and access to mental health care for farmers, ranchers, and ag workers.
Funding Information
Grant requests should be between $25,000-$100,000 and should include a plan for how to fully expend the grant funding by the end of the state’s fiscal year, on June 30, 2023.
