About Mental Health Grants for Youth (under 18)
Mental health grants for youth under 18 range from $500,000 to $735,000 in median award size, with 7,368 active opportunities currently available. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration leads funding in this space, alongside the National Institutes of Health and Department of Housing and Urban Development. These grants support critical interventions during formative years when mental health services can have lasting impact.
All grants in this category operate on a competitive application basis, requiring strong proposals to secure funding. Most support research, program development, and capacity-building initiatives, though 15 percent include cost-sharing requirements. To refine your search, filtering by support type—particularly if your organization focuses on program implementation rather than research—will significantly narrow results to the most relevant opportunities.
