Updated September 17, 2026: The application window for this grant is closed. This article remains available as a historical summary of the 2025 opportunity and does not describe a current funding opportunity.
What the program supported
The Florida Blue Foundation created the 2025 Mental Well-Being Grant Program to support services for children, teens, adults, and older adults managing stressors such as social isolation and loneliness. The program also sought to increase the number of trained mental health professionals available to meet demand across Florida.
Grant structure
The 2025 program offered three- and four-year grants. Eligible applicants were nonprofit organizations focused on mental well-being that could demonstrate experience delivering mental well-being services or training mental health professionals.
2025 timeline
Application opened on or about March 17, 2025.
Applications were due May 5, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
Applicant notifications were scheduled for August through September 2025.
Required orientation was scheduled for September through October 2025.
Why the grant mattered
The program addressed two related barriers to care: the need for services that help people manage stressors and the shortage of trained mental health professionals. The multi-year grant structure gave selected organizations time to build and sustain programs rather than fund a one-time activity.
Organizations interested in a future funding cycle should rely on current announcements from the Florida Blue Foundation. The former application instructions and third-party announcement have been removed from this page because the 2025 application window has ended.
