New Grant Opportunities to Strengthen Mental Well-Being Across PEI

The Alliance for Mental Well-Being is pleased to announce the next cycle of its Grant Program has officially opened with more than $2 million available to support projects that build resilience and improve mental well-being across Prince Edward Island.

  • Community Action Grants – Support organizations in applying evidence to develop or enhance programs, policies, and services that strengthen resilience and improve mental well-being. Eligible applicants may request up to $100,000 per year for 2–3 years (maximum $300,000).

  • Community-Based Research (CBR) Grants – Offered for the first time, these grants foster collaboration between community organizations and researchers to co-create knowledge that informs programs, policies, and services that strengthen resilience and improve mental well-being. Eligible applicants may request up to $50,000 for projects lasting up to 2 years.

Why Community-Based Research?

Community-Based Research is a way of doing research where the people most affected by the topic being studied are actively involved in the research process from start to finish. Using a collaborative approach researchers and community partners work together to produce actionable knowledge that leads to positive change in the community. The Alliance has dedicated $300,000 to this new stream of funding.
