The Peace of Mind Foundation (PoM) is inviting organisations to apply for grants to implement Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) projects for children affected by conflict, crisis and displacement.
The call targets interventions that strengthen emotional wellbeing, build resilience and support long-term recovery for young people living in traumatic environments.
Focus
PoM seeks initiatives rooted in community leadership and cultural understanding, built on structured, evidence-based approaches.
Priority will be given to projects offering trauma-informed care, group-based healing activities, safe and inclusive spaces, and capacity strengthening for caregivers and frontline workers.
The overarching goal is to support children and families with services that are practical, accessible, and culturally relevant.
Funding details
Grant awards range from $50,000 to $150,000 USD, providing significant support for programmes poised to deliver measurable psychosocial impact.
Eligible activities may include:
-
Therapeutic or counselling sessions.

Arts, play or music-based healing.
