Does your organization have an idea that could make a difference in behavioral health in Logan County or Champaign County?

The Mental Health Drug and Alcohol Services Board of Logan and Champaign Counties invites community partners and agencies to apply for the fiscal year 2027 Mini Grant Program. A total of $20,000 is available for the mini grants.

The application deadline is 5 p.m. Nov. 27.

The MHDAS Board is investing in local ideas that support four key priorities:

• Prevention and Early Intervention — Strengthening protective factors and reducing behavioral health risks.

• Access to Behavioral Health Supports — Connecting individuals to mental health, substance use, crisis, and recovery resources.

• Community Collaboration — Building partnerships to address local needs.

• Recovery-Friendly Communities — Reducing stigma and strengthening recovery supports.

“Let’s turn community ideas into meaningful action and build a stronger behavioral health support system together,” MHDAS officials said via a social media post about the mini grant program.
