About grants for suicide prevention
Suicide-prevention grants fund crisis services, prevention training, youth and campus programs, and postvention support delivered by nonprofits, schools, and community organizations. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is the leading federal funder, administering the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline and the Garrett Lee Smith program for state, tribal, and campus youth suicide prevention. National nonprofits such as the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention also award research and community grants.

What grants are available for suicide prevention?
Grants support crisis call and text services, gatekeeper and clinician training, school- and campus-based prevention, programs for higher-risk groups, and survivor and postvention support. Much of the funding flows to states, tribes, and universities, which implement prevention strategies and may partner with local nonprofits. Research grants are also available through foundations focused on understanding and reducing suicide risk.
Who funds suicide prevention programs?
SAMHSA is the primary federal funder, supporting the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline and the Garrett Lee Smith state, tribal, and campus youth suicide prevention grants. State mental-health agencies pass federal dollars to local providers, and national nonprofits such as the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention fund community programs and research. Health foundations and crisis-services networks round out the funding landscape.
How can an organization get suicide-prevention funding?
Identify whether you fit a federal priority, such as youth, campus, or tribal prevention, and check whether your state mental-health agency subgrants SAMHSA dollars to local partners. Build your proposal around an evidence-based prevention model and measurable outcomes, since funders expect data and follow-up. For smaller projects, national prevention nonprofits and community foundations often offer more accessible community grants.
