2025 SBHC Planning and Special Projects Grant Opportunity

Thanks to funding from NMDOH, we are offering up to 6 awards up to $50K each for SBHC planning and expansion. Additionally, we have 2-4 awards available for up to $50,000 depending on project submitted, budget, size of school, etc. for special projects.
 
Level 2 SBHC Planning Grants will allow grantees to assess and plan for new SBHCs or expansion of current SBHC services. This can include new brick and mortar SBHCs, new hours of services at existing SBHCs, new telehealth services, and new mobile SBHC services. Level 2 SBHC planning grants are available to previous SBHC planning grantees or organizations with history and documentation of previous SBHC experience or planning activities.
 
Special Project funding is available to existing SBHC sponsors who would like to pilot special projects with their current SBHC operations. For example, expanding care to serve early childhood programs, pilot new youth outreach or leadership programs, or other innovative initiatives to address community needs.

Goals of the 2025 New Mexico SBHC Planning Grants

  • Facilitate expansion of SBHCs, where needed, throughout New Mexico.
  • Identify gaps that exist for child and adolescent physical, mental, and social health needs.
  • Determine the need and readiness of the school and community for an SBHC model of care.
  • Facilitate school system, healthcare system, and community collaboration to develop a plan to address gaps in child and adolescent health.
  • Prepare grantee to apply for New Mexico Department of Health funding for opening a SBHC or expanding SBHC services in Spring 2027.
