Mental Wellness Mini Grant

Grant Details:

The Mental Wellness Mini Grant is designed to support schools in piloting a new mental health innovation for one year. The intent of this grant is to help schools test and implement an approach that has the potential to be sustained and expanded beyond the grant period.

JES is proud to offer mini grants (up to $3000) to Baltimore Jewish schools who wish to pilot a new Mental Wellness project in their school. A limited number of grants are available and a committee will review the applications to select the grantees.

Eligibility
Any school with at least two participants at the Jewish Education Mental Wellness Summit is eligible to apply.

Criteria
Proposals will be scored based on the following criteria:
• Clarity – The proposal clearly explains the need being addressed and the project details
• Innovation – The project is a new approach that has not been tried before at your school
• Likely Effectiveness – The goals are realistic and an evaluation plan is in place
• Replicability – The project can be implemented in other schools in the future
• Sustainability – The school intends to continue funding the program after the grant ends

Expectations
• Highlight the project (and JES/The Associated) in your school newsletter/social media
• Invite a JES representative to see the project in action
• Share a presentation about your project at the following year’s Mental Wellness Summit
