2026 Regional Suicide Prevention Coalition Grants
About the Application
The Oregon Health Authority (OHA), with support from the Association of Oregon Community Mental Health Programs is announcing one-time grants of up to $10,000 to build up infrastructure of our state’s regional suicide prevention coalitions with a focus specifically on the intersections of substance use prevention and suicide prevention. Strong applications will demonstrate: alignment with Oregon’s Suicide Prevention Framework (Framework); alignment with the prevention goals in Alcohol and Drug Policy Commission’s Comprehensive Plan 26-30, highlighting the connections between suicide prevention and substance use prevention; reduce health inequity; and strong rootedness in local community needs and strengths.
What’s a Coalition?
A regional suicide prevention coalition is made up of multiple local organizations who are working together with a shared region-specific focus on suicide prevention. Membership will most often include people with lived experience and local leaders from multiple sectors. Most coalitions are county-based.
