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 normally funded by another part of government.
They can be
innovative, new program
ideas, or substantially improve and supplement existing activities. They can also significantly increase the
quality of ongoing projects. Each small
project is limited to a maximum of $10,000. The intent is to spend
half of the Small
Projects Fund ($250,000 yearly) on good rural projects.
The deadlines are February
