SAMHSA grants: common questions
How many SAMHSA grants are available right now?
GrantSonar is tracking 9 open SAMHSA grants as of today. That count reflects opportunities that are currently accepting applications — closed rounds and award announcements are excluded, which is why it is smaller than the headline figures some directories advertise. Federal, state and foundation sources are re-ingested daily.
Who funds SAMHSA grants?
The most active funders behind the 9 open SAMHSA grants on this page are Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Foundation funders are profiled from public IRS Form 990 / 990-PF filings, so you can see a funder's actual past giving rather than only its stated priorities.
Who is eligible for SAMHSA grants?
Eligibility for SAMHSA grants varies by opportunity, but the listings on this page are open to nonprofits, government agencies, school districts and other eligible organizations. Each listing states its own eligible applicant types, and GrantSonar filters your matches against your organization type, geography and programs so ineligible opportunities are demoted rather than surfaced.
When are the deadlines for SAMHSA grants?
Deadlines differ per opportunity and some are rolling with no fixed close date. Every listing on this page shows its own close date where the funder publishes one, and GrantSonar re-checks source pages so a deadline that moves is picked up rather than left stale.
Is there a free way to search SAMHSA grants?
Yes. This page is free to browse with no account. A free GrantSonar account additionally matches these SAMHSA grants against your organization's profile and eligibility, so you get a ranked shortlist rather than a list you filter by hand.
How often is this list of SAMHSA grants updated?
Daily. Federal, state and foundation sources are re-ingested every day, duplicate listings are collapsed onto a canonical record, and listing URLs are checked for rot — a stale catalogue is worse than a smaller current one, so dead links are flagged rather than left to look live.
