Fund and Sustain Mental Health Support in Your Community

A step-by-step workbook for community health leaders

Cuts to grants, funding, and staffing have made it harder than ever to sustain community-based programs. But your work is too important to pause, and you don’t have to fund it alone.

Most communities that bring CredibleMind to residents don’t rely on a single funder. They pool contributions from hospitals, health departments, foundations, employers, schools, and other partners, and each one has its own reason to say yes.

This toolkit walks you through that process in 5 steps:

• • Confirm the need in your community
  • Build your story
  • Find who cares, and why
  • Find the funding
  • Call them to the table and get commitments

Inside you’ll find fill-in worksheets, a guide to 15 funding sources, 6 ready-to-send email templates, and a 30-day checklist. When you finish, you’ll have a funding plan to put in front of partners.
