Staunton Farm Foundation recognizes the importance for organizations to build capacity to maintain optimal services. Capacity building refers to developing and strengthening resources in organizations and communities to survive and adapt in today’s environment. The Foundation supports grants up to $25,000 for capacity building for organizations/ proposals focused on behavioral health.
Grants may be used to contract for technical assistance for training, evaluation and planning; for tracking, integrating, and reporting software; and for expenses necessary to achieve the goals of the proposal. The Staunton Farm Foundation will outline the terms of grants with successful grantees.
The Foundation welcomes your ideas and provides these only as examples of project that might meet the intent of this program:
- Supporting collaborations, shared services, and mergers
- Preparing and submitting applications for accreditation
- Exploring alternate funding opportunities or leveraging resources
- Implementing electronic health records
- Technical assistance for integrating behavioral health and physical health
- Training providers on evaluation methods and ways to share outcomes and information
