col-lg-12 col-md-12"> <p>The Mental Health Committee was formed in 2013 by members of the fourth generation of the Myer family.</p> <p>From 2013 to 2022, the Committee’s grantmaking was focused on upstream interventionist activities and programs in the youth mental health sector, balancing this across program delivery and research initiatives.</p> <p>From 2023, the Committee has shifted its focus to empowering people with lived experience and community-based organisations to improve mental health outcomes. This focus acknowledges the crucial role that both individual consumers and carers with lived experience are playing and will need to play in reimagining mental health services, and continues the Committee's longstanding practice of supporting small organisations pilot and grow innovative, evidence-informed approaches to improving mental health outcomes within their communities.</p> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="content-middle"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="content-middle-left col-xs-12 col-lg-6 col-md-6 extend-container-left"> <div class="content-middle-heading"> <h1 style="line-height: 30px;">Mental Health Committee grantmaking</h1> </div> <div class="content-middle-description">In line with The Myer Foundation and Sidney Myer Fund’s strategic pillar of <i>enabling organisations</i>, the Mental Health Program makes multi-year grants to support the general operations of organisations whose work aligns with the focus area.<br><br> With the available budget it is anticipated that a maximum of three grants will be awarded each year, with grant commitments extending over up to five years.<br><br> The Mental Health Program welcomes enquiries from organisations whose work aligns with the focus area – please send a brief email to <a href="mailto:admin@myerfoundation.org.au" class="link-button">admin@myerfoundation.org.au</a><br><br>In the first year of the strategic period, FY24, grants have been made to the following organisations: <br><br> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.hphhfoundation.org/" class="link-button" title="">Happy Paws Happy Hearts</a><br></li> <li><a href="https://icannetwork.online/" class="link-button" title="">ICAN Network</a></li> </ul> </div>  </div> <div class="content-middle-right col-xs-12 col-lg-6 col-md-6 extend-container-right"> <div class="content-middle-heading"> <h1 style="line-height: 30px;">Previous grantees</h1> </div> <div class="content-middle-description">During the previous strategic period FY19-23, the Mental Health Committee made grants to the following organisations: <br><br> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.mcri.edu.au/" class="link-button" title="">Murdoch Children's Research Institute</a><br></li> <li><a href="https://themancave.life/" class="link-button" title="">The Man Cave</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.reach.org.au/" class="link-button" title="">Reach</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.makeshift.org.au/" class="link-button" title="">MakeShift</a></li> <li><b><a href="https://www.australiansformentalhealth.org.au/" class="link-button" title="">Australians for Mental Health</a></b></li> <li><b><a href="https://bigfeels.club/" class="link-button" title="">The Big Feels Club</a></b></li> <li><b><a href="https://www.thejilyainstitute.com.au/" class="link-button" title="">The Westerman Jilya Institute for Indigenous Mental Health</a></b><br></li> <li><a href="https://www.live4life.org.au/" class="link-button" title="">Youth Live4Life</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.projectrockit.com.au/" class="link-button" title="">Project Rockit</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> </div> </div>   <div style="padding: 50px 10% 50px;" class="share-customs share-customs-background"> <div class="container grant-opportunities-sharethis"> <div class="row"><div class="share-section col-xs-12 col-md-12 col-lg-12"> <p>Share This</p> <div data-image="facebook" data-network="facebook" class="st-custom-button"> <img alt="facebook sharing button" src="https://platform-cdn.sharethis.com/img/facebook.svg"> </div> <div data-network="twitter" class="st-custom-button"> <img alt="twitter sharing button" src="https://platform-cdn.sharethis.com/img/twitter.svg"> </div> <div data-network="linkedin" class="st-custom-button"> <img alt="linkedin sharing button" src="https://platform-cdn.sharethis.com/img/linkedin.svg"> </div> <div data-network="email" class="st-custom-button"> <img alt="email sharing button" src="https://platform-cdn.sharethis.com/img/email.svg"> </div> <div data-network="print" class="st-custom-button"> <img alt="print sharing button" src="https://platform-cdn.sharethis.com/img/print.svg"> </div> </div></div> </div> </div><footer class="col-xs-12 col-lg-12 col-md-12 footer"> <div class="row"> <a href="/Privacy-Policy" class="footer-text">Privacy Policy</a> </div> <div class="row"> <span class="footer-text">© Copyright 2020 Sidney Myer Fund & The Myer Foundation.
