The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is one of the top federal agencies funding mental health, trauma recovery, and substance use prevention and treatment programs.

SAMHSA offers dozens of funding opportunities each year, including:

  • CCBHC (Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic) Expansion Grants

  • Mental Health Awareness Training

  • Tribal Behavioral Health Grants

  • Recovery Support Services

Strong SAMHSA applications require:

  • Evidence-based practices

  • Program evaluation and logic models

  • Demonstrated community need

  • Financial and administrative capacity

If you're a nonprofit, health system, school district, or tribal agency focused on behavioral health, SAMHSA should be on your radar.
