Grant Description

Grants to New York nonprofit organizations to benefit new immigrants. Applicants must complete required registrations prior to applying. Funding is intended to support the provision of free mental health services and programs. Awards will be made across the state to provide Licensed Mental Health Professionals who will develop curricula tailored to community needs for the purposes of facilitating and hosting group therapy sessions for any new Americans.

The purpose of this RFA is to establish an agreement with community-based organizations in five regions of New York State to fund Licensed Mental Health Professionals to develop culturally and linguistically responsive, trauma-informed curricula and use those curricula to facilitate group therapy sessions with new Americans in need of mental health services. Successful applicants will be required to deliver services throughout their selected region.

The target population for these funds are immigrants, regardless of status, residing in New York and in need of mental health services and support networks. Services provided with these funds must be free of cost to clients.

All services provided under this grant must be offered at no charge to the clients. Services under this grant may be provided in-person or virtually.
