Mental Health Initiatives Grants

Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation: Mental Health and Well-Being

The Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation works to reduce health disparities by strengthening community-based healthcare worker capacity, integrating medical care and community-based supportive services, and mobilizing communities. The Foundation’s Mental Health and Well-Being initiative leverages public and private sector partners in the community and outside the clinic to increase disease awareness, educate patients about effective self-management of their illness, reduce stigma, and provide emotional support. Grants are provided to nonprofit organizations that address one of the following issues: the mental health needs of returning military service members, veterans, and their families; or the over-representation of the mentally ill in the criminal justice system. Letters of inquiry must be submitted via email by April 13, 2012. Visit the Foundation’s website to review the letter of inquiry guidelines.
