Atlas Analysis
PARTIAL OFFICIAL-SOURCE REVIEW October 30, 2026: MDH program page last updated October 21, 2026 verifies statewide competitive applicant-facing financial assistance, 2027-2031 grant period, Jan 8 2027 4:30 p.m. CT deadline, categories of eligible Minnesota applicants and 1.0 FTE coalition coordinator capacity, and official MDH grant submission portal. Annual statewide funding pool up to $1,000,000 is NOT an individual award. Controlling detailed RFP PDF linked by MDH returned HTTP 403 during independent retrieval; individual award ceiling, cost-sharing conditions, complete application attachments and detailed eligible/ineligible expenses therefore NOT FULLY VERIFIED. Keep in Pending Review; no protected approval or publication requested until the controlling RFP is examined. Distinct from statewide coordination/technical support #5928 and youth peer leader #5846. DO NOT apply an intent-to-apply deadline belonging to the separate statewide coordination program.
Opportunity overview
The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) is accepting competitive applications to establish and sustain community-based suicide prevention coalitions. The initiative supports locally driven, multisector approaches informed by community needs, qualitative and quantitative data, cultural context, and local strengths.
Funding and project period
MDH reports up to $1,000,000 per year in statewide funding across this competition for the period July 1, 2027 through June 30, 2031. This amount is the overall annual program pool, not the amount available to an individual applicant. The MDH public program announcement does not state an individual award limit. Funding is competitive. Eligible expenses may begin only after the grant agreement is fully executed and the grant is effective, whichever occurs later.

Eligible applicants include Minnesota-based local public health and social service agencies, nonprofits, Tribal governments and organizations (including urban Tribal organizations), units of government, schools or school districts, healthcare and behavioral health organizations, faith communities, emergency response organizations, and other agencies able to provide comprehensive community suicide prevention. Applicants must be located in Minnesota and conduct funded activities there. Applicants must demonstrate infrastructure to hire and supervise a 1.0 FTE coalition coordinator.
