Opportunity Overview
Community Mini Grants are reimbursement mini-grants administered by the Delaware Behavioral Health Consortium within the Office of the Lieutenant Governor. The program supports Delaware behavioral-health initiatives and community engagement aligned with current Consortium priorities.
Funding and Deadline
Applicants may request up to $2,500, with a maximum of two requests per organization per fiscal year. Funding is reimbursement based, so an approved organization must first incur eligible costs and then follow the State reimbursement process. The current official FAQ requires applications for event-based activities to be submitted at least 45 days before the proposed event. There is no universal fixed closing date, clock time, or time zone published for the program.
Eligibility
The current official program page lists nonprofits and community organizations, schools and school districts, healthcare and behavioral health providers, local government entities, and other mission-aligned organizations as eligible applicant types. Activities must serve Delaware and align with one or more Behavioral Health Consortium working groups: Communities of Care; Maternal Mental Health; Community Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder; or First Responders and Veterans.
Supported Activities
The official program page identifies examples such as trainings and workshops, community awareness initiatives, resource navigation efforts, events, and support programs. The governing FAQ and funding policy describe the program as supporting community behavioral-health events and public engagement activities. Applicants should use the current application and verify that proposed costs are eligible before committing funds.
Application and Administration
Applicants submit the current Community Mini Grant application through the link on the official Delaware program page. The Behavioral Health Consortium grant committee reviews eligibility and alignment. Approved applicants receive a simple grant agreement, are reimbursed through the State process, and provide a short impact summary. No mandatory match or cost-share percentage is stated in the current published materials, although the reimbursement structure requires applicants to front approved costs.

Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 68/100. This is a verified, currently available Delaware behavioral-health funding vehicle with broad community eligibility, but the small reimbursement cap and event-oriented structure limit strategic scale.
N9+ Fit Score: 0/100. The verified program materials do not establish a legitimate role for the Nonagon N9+ device and platform.
QC Healthcare / Dr. Miltie Fit: 5/100. No direct-vendor or direct-applicant path is established from the current program rules.
Outreach disposition: publication and monitoring only unless a specific eligible Delaware organization has a concrete qualifying event or project and the event-relative filing window can be verified. Do not force a technology fit.
