No. The 2025/2026 Call for Proposals is now closed, and the selection process has been completed. Organizations selected for funding have been contacted directly.

Peace of Mind Foundation does not currently accept unsolicited funding proposals outside an open Call for Proposals.

There is currently no confirmed date for the next Call for Proposals. Following the completion of the 2025/2026 funding round, Peace of Mind Foundation is reviewing its grant-making approach and may adapt the format, scope and process of future funding opportunities.

Any future Call for Proposals will be announced on the Peace of Mind Foundation website and through our LinkedIn and Instagram channels.

The 2025/2026 Call for Proposals was highly competitive, and Peace of Mind Foundation received a large number of applications.

Applications were assessed based on a range of factors, including the quality and relevance of the proposed intervention, technical approach, feasibility, organizational capacity, expected impact and alignment with the objectives of the Call.

As the number of strong applications exceeded the funding available, we were unfortunately unable to support all eligible and high-quality proposals.

While we were not able to provide individual feedback to unsuccessful applicants during the 2025/2026 selection process, we are now able to discuss previous proposals on an individual basis.

If you would like to receive feedback or discuss your previous proposal further, please contact us at isabela@peaceofmind-foundation.org.

Please note that feedback at this stage is intended to provide general guidance and does not indicate that a proposal would be eligible for or prioritized in any future funding opportunity.

We are particularly interested in organizations that demonstrate strong alignment with Peace of Mind Foundation’s mission and approach to mental health and psychosocial support.

Potential partners should ideally demonstrate:

• a strong focus on the mental health and psychosocial wellbeing of children and adolescents;
• experience delivering MHPSS programmes in conflict, crisis, displacement or other contexts of adversity;
• strong local knowledge and trusted relationships with the communities they serve;
• a clear and evidence-informed approach to MHPSS programming;
• appropriate safeguarding, referral and quality assurance systems;
• the organizational and financial capacity to responsibly manage a partnership; and
• a commitment to sustainability and strengthening local capacity.

We are particularly interested in organizations that are closely connected to the communities they serve and that can demonstrate meaningful, locally grounded approaches to improving children’s wellbeing.
