Charlie’s Heart Foundation Grant Program

Charlie’s Heart Foundation (CHF) operates an Annual Grant Program to support small nonprofit organizations working to improve the mental well-being of families in underserved and under-resourced communities. The foundation is committed to funding innovative, holistic programs that promote mental wellness and resilience, especially among populations that lack access to adequate support and services. The grant application process is structured in three steps. Step 1 requires applicants to submit a Letter of Interest (LOI), which serves as an initial screening to determine eligibility and alignment with CHF’s mission. Selected organizations will then be invited to submit a full grant application as Step 2, followed by a telephone inquiry as Step 3, where foundation staff conduct a follow-up discussion with applicants to learn more about the proposed project and organization. The 2025 grant cycle opens on April 1, 2025, with a Letter of Interest due by May 1, 2025. Applicants invited to continue must submit their full grant application by June 30, 2025. Final grant decisions will be made by September 30, 2025. All application materials must be submitted through Charlie’s Heart Foundation’s online grant portal by close of business on the respective deadlines. Charlie’s Heart Foundation prioritizes partnerships with smaller nonprofits and is particularly interested in programs that reflect innovation, community engagement, and a holistic approach to family mental health. Specific funding amounts are not disclosed publicly, and applicants should reach out directly for more detailed information on grant size, duration, and allowable expenses. For additional information or partnership inquiries, organizations are encouraged to contact the foundation at info@charliesheartfoundation.org. The foundation’s mailing address is 301 East John Street, #2489, Matthews, NC 28105.
