THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Mental Health, Behavioral Health, Healthcare Access, Caregiver Support, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Deadline: Oct. 23, 2025
“The Foundation seeks to support efforts that increase access to mental and behavioral health services for caregivers and young children in Philadelphia. Funding will be limited to projects that will positively impact families with young children, ages 0-8, who have traditionally faced barriers to service for reasons including, but not limited to, limited income, insufficient availability of treatment, inaccessible treatment sites, cultural and/or linguistic barriers, immigration status, and limited awareness of existing services. Proposals for funding through this RFP must include activities that do at least one of the following:
- Increase the number of licensed MBH providers serving young children who participate in Medical Assistance (Medicaid).
- Increase the number of culturally and linguistically competent professionals serving in community-based settings.
- Expand the reach of existing comprehensive MBH services for young children in geographic areas of the city with the greatest need. Priority will be given to proposals that address service needs in Philadelphia’s top ten “high risk” zip codes, according to the Risk Index published in the 2017 DBHIDS Place Matters report: 19120, 19121, 19122, 19124, 19132, 19133, 19134, 19139, 19140, 19142
- Advocate for policies that increase access to MBH services for families with young children (prenatal to age 8).
- Provide MBH care coordination, a system used by child and family serving professionals for efficient, cross-programmatic communication regarding MBH services.
- Provide screening and assessment for MBH services for families with young children (birth to age 8) or those who are pregnant.
- Offer training for children and family serving professionals that establishes or strengthens access to direct MBH services.”
