Many schools have budgets to bring in programs like Rachel’s Challenge. Often schools use SEL or mental/behavioral health funds from their budgets or a local agency. Often the PTA or PTO, a private donor, or a local business or service club like Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions, etc. will help with the funding. Some communities have credit unions, hospitals, and other community- focused institutions are looking to give back to their communities by sponsoring this type of training. Many mental health organizations want to fund behavioral health initiatives in schools. Rachel’s Challenge has used these funding sources effectively. There are also a number of local, state and federal grants available for these types of programs. There are even standing grants already in place to provide our program in some states. Your local Rachel’s Challenge rep is happy to discuss ways to find the funding for a Rachel’s Challenge program. Contact your regional partnership manager here.
