The Mental Health Advisory Committee (MHAC) of Eagle County is pleased to announce the opening of 2025 Funding opportunities of up to $100,000 per-applicant, with the purpose of addressing mental health needs of our communities. These funds are focused on programs, projects, and/or initiatives contributing to health promotion/root causes of local mental health challenges, and efforts offering equity in access to culturally responsive care. This one-year funding cycle will begin January 2025, with an application period beginning Wednesday, October 23rd, 2024, and closing Monday, November 18th, 2024. This funding is sourced by local marijuana tax revenue, meaning each contract will have a one-year scope without promise of continued funding. The decision-making entity of this funding stream, the Mental Health Advisory Committee, is the governing entity reviewing applications and selecting proposals for award. Applicants must identify alignment with one or more of MHAC's vision and current strategic focuses, which include: funding culturally responsive care and funding health promotion efforts. Additionally, applicants must show evidence of equitable access to programming. Highest scoring applicants will display community-led project development with dedication to culturally appropriate programming.
