To support the successful design, implementation, and learning objectives of the Hospital and Housing Supports Services Integration Pilot, DMAHS is issuing a separate RFP for the Hospital and Housing Integration Technical Assistance Grant Program.
The Technical Assistance Grant Program will fund a qualified organization to provide technical assistance to pilot participants and to support the State in assessing the quality of these pilots. The selected technical assistance provider will serve two core functions:
a. Pilot implementation support, including assisting with the launch and ongoing operations of the pilot, supporting hospital–provider partnerships, developing training material on best practices, facilitating shared learning across pilot sites, and communicating with DCA/DMAHS on pilot progress. Further enumeration of the support that the TA organization will provide to awarded pilot participants will be enumerated in Section V; and
b. Pilot mixed-methods assessment, including conducting analysis of pilot implementation — such as interviews with participating hospitals, Housing Supports Program providers, and other relevant stakeholders and descriptive data analysis — and producing a written synthesis of implementation experiences, effective practices, challenges encountered, and key lessons learned to inform future program design and potential scale.

Digital Health Projects
MCD Global Health (MCD) was selected as a subawardee to support the implementation of Maine’s technology and innovation initiatives in close collaboration with Maine DHHS and statewide partners. This includes supporting the implementation of a variety of digital health solutions and modalities, including telehealth, remote-patient monitoring, provider-to-provider consultations, and digital therapeutics deployed across partner sites, with a focus on reducing distance as a barrier to specialty care, behavioral health, and chronic disease management.
Digital Health Projects: Youth Tele-behavioral Health Program
Telehealth Expansion: Direct-to-patient Care
Project Details
A statewide program expanding youth tele-behavioral health services to increase access to youth-serving clinicians with a focus on rural areas, school partners and students ages 12-18. Rural Maine communities often have worse behavioral health outcomes than the national average. Similar models of this program have been successfully implemented in select school districts in response to access barriers faced by remote regions of Maine. While these models have included a Community Health Workers (CHW) embedded in school districts to help with facilitation, proposals are not limited to this model. Additionally, this program is not restricted to facilitation in the school setting only, as youth may also prefer to access appointments at home or in another setting.
Who We're Serving
School-aged students and youth across Maine, with a focus on ages 12-18 in rural zip codes. While Maine is experiencing a behavioral health workforce shortage, rural populations face additional barriers, such as long travel times.
Objective
Expand youth tele-behavioral health services to the school setting to increase access to youth-serving clinicians with a focus on rural school districts and grades 6-12 or ages 12-18. Provide assistance for student referrals both during and outside of school hours.

Discover 8,000+ funding opportunities for preschools, with $3.35B available. Instrumentl offers grant-matching tools, deadline alerts, and funding intelligence to help organizations expand early learning programs and support child development.
How common are grants in this category?
Quite common — grants in this category are more prevalent than in others.
Over the past year, when are grant deadlines typically due for grants for Preschools?
Most grants are due in the first quarter.
What's the typical grant amount funded for Grants for Preschools?
Grants are most commonly $32,500.
Nonprofits that are eligible for preschools grants include licensed nonprofit preschools, early childhood education centers, houses of worship, and family-focused organizations that provide pre-K learning programs. Funders may also focus their grants on early childhood education programs and teacher training in their respective communities. Many grants require applicants to be 501(c)(3) organizations and may prioritize initiatives serving low-income families and children with special needs.
Grants in preschools typically have the highest concentration of deadlines in Q1, with 29.7% of grant deadlines falling in this period. If you're planning to apply, consider prioritizing your applications around this time to maximize opportunities. Conversely, the least active period for grants in this category is Q4.
Preschool grants support early childhood education programs, teacher training, curriculum development, and facility improvements. Funders also seek to enhance school readiness and learning environments, support working families, support young children's development, and improve access to quality early learning programs. There are more than 6,000 grants available and an impressive $2.95 billion in funding available for preschools and early childhood education.
Funding for preschools grants varies widely, with award amounts ranging from a minimum of $0 to a maximum of $188,250,000. Based on Instrumentl’s data, the median grant amount for this category is $32,500, while the average grant awarded is $631,791. Understanding these funding trends can help nonprofits set realistic expectations when applying.
Of the $2.95 billion available in funding, nearly half come from private funders like the Cooke Foundation, the National Education Association Staff Organization, the James C. Stewart Charitable Foundation, and the Bell Charitable Foundation. In addition, there are many federal and state and local government funders that are providing grants for preschools and early childhood education in their respective areas.
Some of the key federal grants are from the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, the U.S. Department of Justice, and the U.S. Department of Labor. There are also quite a bit of state-level organizations that are offering funding for Preschool grants like the Tennessee Department of Agriculture and the New York State Office of Mental Health.
A carefully planned approach is needed in order to successfully win grants for preschools. To improve grant success, nonprofits should concentrate on all of these key areas:
