It's a new school year! Which means new staff, new students, and new innovative ideas! Please read through the entire application in advance of applying so that your responses are detailed with well thought-out plans.
Applications open on September 30, 2024, and we estimate closing applications in December 13th, 2024
Please note the following procedures on the mini grant process:
- Applicants must choose 1 activity on which to spend awards (selection included in questions below).
- Schools or districts applying that have not received a mini grant in the past will be prioritized.
- The schools and districts that receive awards will be expected to use their mini grant funds during this school year and must be able to meet report requirements 4 months after they are awarded.
- We will make decisions on award amounts based on demonstrated potential impact, need, and reach. You will see there are predetermined ranges for each type of prevention activity, please tell us in your application how X amount will support your project needs.
- Since we encourage and love to see students involved in their school's suicide prevention plans, we are opening up a separate application for students to apply for a mini grant. This will require a school staff to support the application and transaction process, and we hope that an adult can support the facilitation of conversations that will elevate youth voices. This application is linked on the YouthLine website and will follow the same cycle as normal mini grants. Student applications will not replace this mini grant application, meaning a school is allowed to submit both, but student applications will be prioritized.
