‘Seed-funding’ of between £100 and £2,500 to UK based individuals or not for profit organisations who need money to trial new ways to support those in need.
The grant can be used to trial a new service, create an asset, a technology, a performance, fund research, or otherwise experiment in any way that supports the treatment of mental health. The emphasis will be on innovation – using new methods, channels, technology, ideas or approaches to reach out and effect change. Ideas should typically fit into one of the following categories:
- Destigmatising Mental Health
- Reducing Barriers to Mental Health Care
- Improving Mental Well Being
Note the grants are for project-based activities that demonstrate clear innovation. They will not be made to fund ongoing operational expenses or salaries.
In the first instance, send an email with a brief outline of your idea and the amount you will be requesting to innovate@camgrant.org.uk
They will review your request and get back to you within two weeks with an initial assessment. If this is positive, they will invite you to complete a formal application online via a Google Form. This should take between 20 and 30 minutes to complete.
