ANNOUNCING THE NEXT ROUND OF MINISTRY GRANTS—APPLY NOW!
During this time of COVID-19, the need for mental health ministries in the Church has become acutely apparent. That’s why the Association of Catholic Mental Health Ministers (ACMHM) is especially glad to announce the availability of the 2022 round of seed grants to create or expand mental health ministries within parishes, schools, deaneries, or dioceses. Over the past three years, the ACMHM has provided more than $500,000 in funding for ministries across the country.
The awards begin at $5,000. Larger grants will be given if the proposal demonstrates a compelling purpose and sustainable programming. Only those who submit a letter of interest will be considered for a 2022 grant. Letters of interest are due October 29, 2021, and grants will be awarded by December 31, 2021. Please click here for more information on the grant application process and guidelines.
