Program and Intent: MTV is offering grant funding to empower nonprofit partners to produce innovative activations on the 4th annual Mental Health Action Day. The goal is to drive the mental health culture from awareness to action. Activations that engage the local community to learn and practice ASK (Acknowledge, Support, Keep-In-Touch) will be given special consideration. The aim is to empower people to know how to respond when their friends or loved ones reach out for help.

Award Details: The majority of grants will be between $2,500 and $7,000, with a maximum award of $10,000. Funding may take up to 60 days to process. Selected applicants will be informed by March 19, 2024.

Eligibility: Grants are available for U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations. Organizations that are fiscally sponsored by a qualifying c3 are also eligible.

Application Deadline: The application must be submitted by 11:59 PM EST on March 3, 2024.
