Funding Opportunity: Mini-Grants for LGBTQ+ Community Projects

[VanTil Amanda L]

The Oregon Alliance to Prevent Suicide, in partnership with the Association of Oregon Community Mental Health Programs, and with funding from the Oregon Health Authority, is excited to announce an opportunity for one-time mini-grants of up to $20,000 for local projects that increase protective factors for the LGBTQ+ community during this complicated time of COVID-19.

We recognize that BIPOC (Black, indigenous, people of color), disabled, and LGBTQ+ communities are most acutely impacted by COVID 19 due to layers of systemic oppression. Natural supports are not as easily accessible while sheltering in place and that physical distancing and isolation may lead to increased feelings of vulnerability. We also know that when our most vulnerable communities are supported, connected, and resourced, we all thrive.

We encourage organizations and community groups who have not previously focused specifically on suicide prevention work to consider applying.  Applications for small projects and out-of-the-box ideas are welcome.

Applications are due by 5:00 pm on Friday, August 7, 2020. More information about the mini-grants, the application, and a sample of the post-award report can be found in the documents attached to this email, or on the Alliance’s website at http://www.oregonalliancetopreventsuicide.org/lgbtq-advisory-group/<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.oregonalliancetopreventsuicide.org_lgbtq-2Dadvisory-2Dgroup_&d=DwMFAg&c=7gilq_oJKU2hnacFUWFTuYqjMQ111TRstgx6WoATdXo&r=87pDmk8FxN_alyz8CGZBdRfW-SLV0wN2jbe2r5bXGwLNDVSHaRpCJOyDrSmkUSgY&m=VkdaYROD5NHyI_H1M1AG0h1Z6Q6ZeDYStY8RfkfVWoA&s=9Nvl3bJlcMJO2_FVCuLRBnX_iilPSoX45Y9W_k8eaVo&e=>.
