The Hogg Foundation for Mental Health invites eligible nonprofit organizations in Texas to submit proposals for the Hogg Mental Health Policy Fellows project. The goal of this project is to increase the capacity of individuals and organizations to participate effectively in mental health policy in Texas.

Effective public policy is essential to realizing meaningful, systemic change in mental health services and improvement in the lives of Texans experiencing mental health conditions. Public policy directly impacts the public’s access to mental health services and supports, quality of care, and legal rights and protections. Positive mental health public policy initiatives can increase opportunities for recovery by promoting best practices in treatment and support services.

The foundation will fund up to five Texas-based nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations to employ a mental health policy fellow whose salary will be paid by the grant. The fellowships will be open to recent graduates (within the past 18 months) of law, social work, public policy or other related graduate programs.

Grantees must provide each fellow with a designated mentor to provide training and supervision. Both the fellows and the mentors will participate in the Hogg Mental Health Policy Academy, to be facilitated by an entity selected by the Hogg Foundation through a separate RFP.

For more information, go to the Hogg Mental Health Policy Fellows project page.

Please read the request for proposals carefully before submitting your proposal.
