How to Apply
Before submitting your application to the Rural Mental Health Community Grants, you must have completed Animator Training, and complete an Expression of Interest. For the first time, the Expression of Interest (EOI) is now mandatory. This is to ensure our team can provide as much support and guidance as needed to ensure all communities are as successful as possible!
Once you have completed your EOI and joined a coaching call, please also review the Application Guidelines & Adjudication Criteria to ensure you have filled out your application correctly. Double check that you are using the correct Application Form for the Granting Stream your project fits into.
When in doubt, email Mary!
