The Alaska Mental Health
Trust Authority's Small Projects Funding program is designed to create new services of direct benefit to Trust
beneficiaries. These services are not

innovative, new program
ideas, or substantially improve and supplement existing activities. They can also significantly increase the
quality of ongoing projects. Each small

the Small Projects Fund ($250,000 yearly) on high quality rural projects. The
deadlines are February 1, June 1 and October 1.
