Organizations are invited to apply for the Dollar A Day funding program. The Dollar A Day Foundation funds frontline programs that support professionals in diagnosing and treating persons with mental illness and addictions in a timely and respectful manner, regardless of politics, religion, gender, race, or ability to pay.

The Dollar A Day Foundation considers the following when funding programs:

• Frontline Programs – Does the program have a positive impact on a person suffering today?
• Demand/Need – Is there a compelling need for this program in this area/region?
• Lasting Impact – Does the program have the potential to be life-changing?
• Measurable Results – How are these impacts measured?
• Ability to Replicate – Could the program be successfully replicated elsewhere?
• Innovative – Is there potential to be ground-breaking in terms of its overall impact?
• Regional Impact – There is a desire to fund programs in every province and territory in Canada.

Specifications:

• Your organization must provide direct mental health and/or addiction services. Improving mental health as a byproduct of your direct mission is important and appreciated, but you must be focused on direct mental health and/or addictions service delivery for funding.
• The grants are for organizations with annual budgets under $8,000,000.
• Grants are not provided to individuals.
