MISPACE GRANTS
$1M TO EMPOWER TEEN
MENTAL HEALTH ACROSS CHICAGO

MiSpace Grants is a one million dollar strategic initiative designed to advance teen mental health across communities throughout Chicago.

WE PROUDLY PROVIDE MISPACE GRANTS TO COMMUNITY CENTERS ACROSS THE CHICAGO AREA.

This grant represents the largest single investment in Mielle Cares history and reflects our ongoing commitment to empowering the next generation by supporting their emotional and mental well-being.

Each selected center receives between $75,000 and $500,000 to implement youth mental health programming, including group therapy, mindfulness practices, narrative therapy, and arts-based healing. These programs serve youth ages 11 to 18 who often face systemic barriers to accessing care.

HOW IT WORKS

MiSpace Grants support a range of therapeutic programs at participating community centers, including group therapy, mindfulness practices, arts based therapies, and more.

Each MiSpace funded program is rooted in the Mielle Method, our approach to youth mental wellness that emphasizes mindfulness, lifelong learning, skill building, and personal growth.

Focused on meaningful, long term impact, MiSpace Grants not only fund the creation or expansion of youth mental health programs but also provide resources to help our partners sustain them over time.
