Oakland County accepting applications from non-profits for $10 million in mental health and wellbeing grants

Applications are now open for non-profit organizations to apply for a share of $10 million in Oakland Together Mental Health and Wellbeing Non-profit Grants aimed to help increase capacity to meet the growing demand for mental health services due to the COVID-19 pandemic. There will be a webinar for non-profits Friday, September 17, from 1:00-2:00 p.m. to answer questions about the application process and grant program. Click here to register for the webinar.

There will be three types of grants awarded to non-profit organizations to support mental or behavioral health services offered only to Oakland County residents:

  • Operational grants from $50,000 to $99,999 to maintain or enhance mental and/or behavioral health services because of increased demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Expansion grants from $100,000 to $249,999 to expand or implement new mental and/or behavioral health services because of increased demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Community grants from $250,000 to $500,000 may be awarded to non-profit organizations with an annual operating budget of at least $4 million which need funds to maintain or expand mental and/or behavioral health services because of increased demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The United Way for Southeastern Michigan will administer the grant program.

To be eligible for any of the grants, an applicant must:

  • Be based in Oakland County or providing services to Oakland County residents.
  • Be a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in good standing with both the State of Michigan and Internal Revenue Service.
  • Be a provider of evidence-based mental and/or behavioral health services and those services must be delivered by professionals licensed by and in good standing with the State of Michigan.

All funds from the Oakland Together Mental Health and Wellbeing Non-profit Grants must be spent during the period from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2022. Funds awarded through the grants cannot support services that have already received federal, state, county, foundation, or philanthropic reimbursements. To apply, click here.

Please Join Us in Opposing this IRS Proposal
 
Your financial privacy is high on our priority list. As Congress considers critical new infrastructure spending, policymakers are eying unconventional sources of revenue to fund their plans.
 
One proposal under consideration would require all financial institutions to report to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) how much money has gone into and out of accounts holding more than $600. 
 
This unprecedented access to personal financial data raises several alarms including privacy, expense, and data breach concerns.
 
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Please tell Congress to oppose this IRS reporting.
