Grant-making Guidelines

The Mental Research Institute (MRI) reviews grant applications from nonprofit organizations in the United States. In addition, we evaluate whether an organization has established best practices as it relates to diversity, financial sustainability, infrastructure, board governance, staff development, programs, services, collaboration, and networks with peers. 

We receive many more requests for funding than we can support. Only those that effectively address our grant-making guidelines and align with our mission will be considered.
