Born Matilda Staunton Craig in 1862 and known to her family as "Aunt Daisie."
Funding Priorities
The Staunton Farm Foundations seeks to fund projects that advance one or more of its priorities:
- Rural behavioral health. Applicants for a "Rural" grant will provide services to people in at least one rural area and will describe how the approach used will reach and engage people who face the challenges of distance and stigma.
- Access to behavioral health services/support for individuals who have been underserved. Applicants for an “Access” grant will make the case that the population they are targeting does not now receive services at an expected rate and that their project will reach and engage the underserved individuals more effectively.
- Criminal Justice Diversion. Applicants for a "Criminal Justice" grant will propose a program in collaboration with the criminal justice system that will divert youth or adults with behavioral health issues from arrest/jail to treatment and support in the community.
In addition to understanding how your project will help to improve behavioral health in one or more of these priority areas, the Staunton Farm Foundation would like to know if the project will:
- Use an evidence-based practice or will test a promising practice in a structured way
- Have a good plan for sustaining the work, after Staunton Farm Foundation funding has ended; and
- Measure and share results.
