Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias Funding Opportunities

MDH offers funding opportunities to eligible organizations to plan, promote, and share resources and information to raise awareness and support organizations who are engaging in ADRD work. 

Open Funding Opportunities

Alzheimer's Awareness Grant 

The primary purpose of this request is to receive proposals from organizations that can disseminate ADRD materials to a statewide Minnesota audience and the organization's own relevant communities. Materials and promotion tactics should reflect the community need for the applicant's focus population(s). 

Dementia Community Engagement Plan

The Healthy Brain Initiative Team requests proposals to guide the development of a Dementia Community Engagement Plan. This plan will describe actions to guide state agencies and organizations on how to engage with people living with dementia across the state. This plan will also demonstrate how people living with dementia can be active participants in ongoing conversations that may influence programming, funding, and policies. 

This work may be completed virtually and should be completely by June 30, 2026. View the project information here using reference number: PT4880. Email application materials to health.healthybrain@state.mn.us.
