Minnesota Mental Health Community Foundation

Minnesota Mental Health Community Foundation, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization, receives federal grant funding as a recipient and subrecipient for community mental health and opioid response programming, with all recent work flowing through the Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).

The organization's federal footprint is modest and concentrated. Five total awards spanning 2020 to 2023 account for $1.7 million in combined obligated dollars across two distinct customer agencies—both housed within HHS/SAMHSA. The Foundation holds one prime grant award and sits as subrecipient on four federal grants. The most recent activity is a Project Grant for the FastTracker Ambassadors Community Project, awarded directly by SAMHSA on September 30, 2023, with an ultimate completion date of September 29, 2024. Prior subaward work includes two Minnesota State Opioid Response (SOR) sub-grants channeled through the Minnesota Department of Human Services on July 1, 2023, and July 1, 2022, respectively. Activity has been flat—one award per year in 2020, 2021, and 2022, rising to two awards in 2023. The organization does not hold federal contracts or IDVs; all federal funding comes through grant instruments. The 80% subaward share indicates that the Foundation functions primarily as a pass-through recipient of state-administered federal opioid response dollars rather than as a direct federal grantee, with the FastTracker Ambassadors prime grant representing recent direct engagement with SAMHSA.
