Deadline: The Being Initiative
The Being Initiative (Being) are funding bold ideas for youth mental health and wellbeing in 12 countries: Colombia, Ecuador, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Morocco, Pakistan, Romania, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, and Vietnam.
Being are looking to fund bold prevention and promotion ideas that address the early drivers of mental health and wellbeing for the most underserved 10- to 24-year-olds (). Being seeks to fund innovative solutions that meet the context-specific upstream drivers of young people鈥檚 mental health and wellbeing along with ecosystem-level efforts that address the broader systemic barriers that hinder sustainable implementation and broader integration of mental health and wellbeing promotion and prevention initiatives.
Two types of funding opportunities are available at this time (April 2025): 1) Proof of Concept and 2) Transition to Scale. Each funding opportunity has different scopes, funding amounts, timelines, and evaluation criteria. Please refer . Being's intention behind the two different funding opportunities is for approved projects in each country to coordinate with one another to achieve a shared goal (i.e. strengthening the country's mental health landscape).
