Description
The Lean on Me Suicide Awareness and Support Grant is administered by the Community Foundation of East Mississippi. It supports community nonprofit organizations with programs addressing suicide awareness, suicide prevention, or support for families affected by suicide. The program connects the Lean on Me Jubilee’s fundraising with community partners whose missions align with the event team’s focus on awareness, prevention, and support.
Funding comes from proceeds of the Second Annual Lean on Me Jubilee, held September 27, 2025. Those proceeds are returned to community partners through mini-grants. The grant is part of the Foundation’s competitive grantmaking in East Mississippi, where its service area includes Clarke, Kemper, Lauderdale, Neshoba, and Newton counties.
