Overview
Courtnall Society for Mental Health grants support Canadian organizations that improve access to mental health care and encourage innovation in treatment. Funding is intended for programs or services that would not otherwise be possible and that align with CSMH values of integrity, inclusivity, equality and transparency. Eligible organizations must be based in Canada and must be registered charities or qualified donees. Priority is given to programs that show measured results, have clear objectives and an actionable plan, use evidence-based or evidence-informed approaches, include a detailed budget, address sustainability after funding, identify anticipated impact and the number of people helped, and reach individuals or communities that do not typically have access to mainstream services.
