To achieve the goal of better health for all Arkansans, the Blue & You Foundation seeks to harness the power of partnership. By strategically focusing its grant funding on community-based solutions, the Foundation hopes to nurture community health leadership, foster collaboration and innovation, and leverage financial, human, and community resources to produce a measurable, positive impact.
The Behavioral Health Grant program is dedicated to improving the state of behavioral healthcare and mental health in Arkansas. It supports a broad range of initiatives within this realm, focusing on several key areas: enhancing access to quality mental health care; increasing awareness, education, and outreach; bolstering crisis care services; promoting early intervention strategies; fostering mental health innovation; addressing substance use disorder; advancing suicide prevention efforts; and emphasizing preventative behavioral healthcare. The grant program offers financial support ranging from $5,000 to $200,000 to projects that align with these categories, with a clear stipulation that partial funding will not be provided.
