The Community Wellbeing (CWB) program is a partnership between Tri-City Mental Health and local communities in the form of grants that promote wellbeing. We see the role of community as essential in fostering wellness for all individuals. We would like to support communities and groups in the cities of Claremont, La Verne and Pomona that are doing the vital work of maintaining or improving the wellbeing of their members. Through monetary grants and technical assistance, the CWB program is committed to strengthening the capacity of local communities to increase social connection and mental wellbeing.

The CWB program builds upon the knowledge and valuable experience of local communities and supports them to accomplish their goals. Communities that successfully apply will receive numerous forms of support including:

• • • • A grant of up to $10,000 to fund a project that enhances the mental and emotional wellbeing of their members
      • Ongoing guidance and support from Tri-City staff to achieve project goals
      • Technical assistance to collect and receive data from their community and evaluate their project’s impact
      • Greater awareness of mental health and wellbeing within their community
      • Numerous opportunities to network and share with other local communities
      • Access to evidence-based mental health and trauma-focused trainings
      • Connection to resources

Successful communities will have sustainable projects that address the needs of their members and focus on the challenges they face. Through impactful community partnerships and strategic grant projects, we can help improve the mental, emotional and social health of our whole community.

WHO SHOULD APPLY?

Beginning 2019, the CWB program has dedicated its efforts to improving the wellbeing of children and transition-age youth ages 0 to 25. Communities and groups in Claremont, La Verne and Pomona which are either comprised of youth or fund projects that directly benefit them are eligible to apply. Prospective grantees must also be connected to a non-profit 501(c)3 organization who will act as a fiscal sponsor for their community.
