Request for Project Grant Writing Support

Summary

Visible Minority Radio & TV Network (VMRTN), also known as Visible Minority Re-Settlement & Training Network (VMRTN), is seeking project grant writing assistance for an application to Health Canada’s Youth Mental Health Fund.

As a registered, non-profit corporation, VMRTN is an integrated community development and media organization with a mandate to provide empowerment and capacity building services and programs to support the needs of the black community and other visible minority groups, related to poverty, oppression, isolation. Addressing and removing socio-economic barriers faced by the black community and other visible minorities is a key foundation of our mission and services. We implement capacity-building and empowerment mandates that address and support the unique needs of individuals and families specific to their culture, language, ethnic and religious heritage, age and socio-economic factors.

The Youth Mental Health Fund is looking to fund projects of up to $500,000 per fiscal year for projects that may be up to 48 months in length, to enhance the capacity of community health organizations to deliver more care for young people living in Canada and better equip these organizations to refer youth to other mental health services within their networks and partnerships. The deadline to apply is January 22.
