What We Fund:
We invest in youth-led solutions that tackle the early drivers of youth mental health challenges, based on insights from our country consultations, with a focus on urban and peri-urban areas.
Proof-of-concept funding of up to $250,000 CAD is awarded to early-stage projects that can implement, test and refine solutions to country-specific personal, social, and/or environmental factors impacting young people’s mental health and wellbeing in one of the 12 countries.
Transition-to-scale funding between $300,000 CAD and $1,500,000 CAD is awarded to support tested mental health promotion and prevention approaches that align with country-specific priorities along their scaling journey to help catalyze their sustainability and impact.
