🌿The 2025 Community Fund is open!🌿

Apply to host a mental health workshop in your community to help communities break open the conversation about mental health. The Community Fund, sponsored by FCC, is open!

We welcome applications from agricultural communities, small businesses, community groups, municipal governments, agricultural associations, faith groups, service groups, and other community champions interested in leading action for mental health in your rural agricultural community.

Communities have shared their thoughts on why it’s important to make space for conversations and learning for mental health at the community level:

• “I was nervous about how the workshop would be received, but the community’s response has been overwhelmingly positive. People are more connected and ready to support each other. It’s been a success all around.”

• “My community is leaving with new skills and a better understanding of how to support their peers. I’m proud to see this kind of change in our community.”

• “We’ve always known mental health is important, but this workshop gave us the structure and confidence to actually do something about it.”

The community fund covers the main costs so you can focus on encouraging, supporting, and championing people to join you to learn more about mental health. Increase knowledge and learn strategies to support mental wellness, right in your community.
