increased participation in community life, and increased help-seeking of beneficiaries;
 Purchase of equipment or resources to enable delivery of a program, service, or activity
locally
 Development or provision of culturally-appropriate activities and resources;
 Delivery of community-based therapeutic programs and activities such as arts, theatre,
gardening, community dinners, or informal mentoring and peer support groups, which
engage vulnerable and at-risk members of the community;
 Projects that reduce stigma, increase local knowledge and understanding of mental
health, promote awareness, and strengthen the skills of first responders within
communities;
 Projects that are clearly aligned to, linked with, supported by or collaborating with other
local, state or industry services focused on improving mental health;
 Projects that foster local partnerships that help to strengthen grassroots support
mechanisms for local residents;
 Projects that can be sustained over time beyond the initial grant; and
 Salaries and wages may be supported if linked to the delivery of the project and where
ongoing funding for the position is not required. Preferably, where a grant supports
wages, the project will leave a legacy and build the capacity of local community groups
and services to be able to respond and support needs or continue activities beyond the
grant.
What cannot be funded?
 Ongoing core organisational operational costs (e.g. rent, utilities, regular wages, loan
repayments);
 Overseas travel and overseas projects;
 Prizes, gifts, trophies or awards;
 Projects that have already occurred or will occur before the grant is confirmed;
 Political lobbying;
 Projects solely focused on animal welfare;
 Projects that are for private benefit (excepting social enterprises) or which are the core
responsibility of Government.

Organisational overview
Tell us about your organisation (100 words)
Outline your organisation’s overall structure (the type of organisation, vision / mission,
major programs / activities, target population groups, engagement with other
community groups, key partnerships)
Synapse Inc is the organisation which has been chosen for this mental health
associated health promotional program due to the extreme efforts of this
organisation in determining the health and wellbeing in maintaining mental health of
the population. Initially this organisation used to help patients with brain injury
however, in the later years they provided extended support to the patients with
critical complications associated with their mental health so that the community
could be provided with effective care (Synapse 2019). This organisation has the
mission of providing the patients of mental illness with effective care, counselling so
that they could develop abilities to fight back and could overcome their
complications. Further, their way of working with other community groups is based
upon the connection between people communities as well as opportunities (Synapse
2019).

The primary aim of this grant application report is to identify the needs of the chosen
community and then establish the complication that this community may suffer from if
they are not provided with effective care. Further, this paper would identify the needs
of this community and then would develop health promotional program, by providing a
detailed schedule and budget of this program, as sections of the grant application
report. The grants would be used for providing educational training, mental health
intervention and other aspects that could improve the mental health of the chosen
community.
