Grant Questions

If you’re looking to apply for a grant, below we have listed the questions asked in the applications.

We want these grants to be as accessible as possible, so we are looking for great ideas, not perfect spelling or grammar. We know not everyone has access to a grant writer, and we encourage small groups/communities/organisations to apply, and please be assured that written English skills are not a requirement for a successful application.

The judges are looking at innovation, reach, practicality, connection to the Mental Health Month theme, and collaboration.

Please note: the grant application forms can’t be saved and finished later, we recommend writing your answers in a document and then copying them to the form. If you have any questions, or need alternative ways to submit your application, please contact us
