Summary

A significant funding opportunity for  a nonprofit organization to lead advocacy, training, outreach, and education efforts targeting immigrant and refugee communities. 


The total award is $502,500, structured as a multi‑year agreement extending into late 2028. Funding unfolds through a deliverable‑based model, with incremental payments tied to progress reporting, outcomes, and collaboration milestones. Grantees are expected to produce policy briefs, convenings, strategic partnerships, community outreach materials, and data‑driven insights to influence decision‑makers and build capacity within partner organizations.


Eligible applicants must be experienced nonprofits with at least two years of statewide advocacy and coalition management, especially within immigrant or refugee behavioral health or related service areas. A track record of coordinating between grassroots partners and policymakers is important, along with cultural competence and responsiveness to diverse communities.


One of the key objectives is to amplify local experiences and mental health priorities at the state level, strengthen culturally appropriate service models, and support inclusion within broader planning frameworks. Equally important is the alignment between local practitioner voices and state officials, facilitated via convenings—both virtual and in‑person—as well as regular technical assistance.


If your organization is mission‑driven, has scalable advocacy experience, and is passionate about bridging community needs with lasting systemic change, this grant offers a powerful vehicle to lead coordinated, policy‑focused efforts across the state. Let me know if you’d like help crafting an effective proposal framework.


Organizations and individuals based in California who are engaged in Employment, Labor & Training Workforce may be eligible to apply for this funding opportunity.
