Grassroots Grant Program
The Chestnut Ridge Center (CRC) and West Virginia University Hospitals (WVUH) Grassroots Grant Program is open to any not-for-profit organization in West Virginia.
If your organization sponsors a community project relating to mental health, substance abuse, dependence, or family preservation you are eligible to apply.
Grants are awarded annually for up to $1000. Projects receiving awards may be funded in part or full.
Funding received from the Grassroots Grant Program may be used for events, materials, educational campaigns, treatment programs, conferences, or related expenses.
Decisions to fund projects are made by an internal hospital committee. Chestnut Ridge Center and WVUH reserve the right to determine which projects are funded and the amount of the funding distributed to an agency. Additionally, CRH has the right to cancel the program funding at any time.
Sponsorship of any program funded by this grant is not considered an endorsement of the recipient’s organization by Chestnut Ridge Center or WVU Hospitals.
