Join us as we highlight SAMHSA’s Diversity Inclusion Project Showcase (DIPS), a new initiative that aims to increase a more diverse pool of historically marginalized populations to grant funding opportunities by providing the chance to showcase their goals and populations served, to federal and state leaders, as well as philanthropic partners in a “Round Robin-style” of innovation.
This is a two-day event scheduled from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., as follows: Thursday, February 25, and Friday, February 26. Your registration will ensure your access to both days of our showcase.
Learn More: This event is designed to increase the access, visibility, and viability of community-based organizations(CBOs) and local nonprofits in SAMHSA's Region 1 (CT, ME, MA, NH, RI, VT). We encourage registrants to join us for each, one-hour session in this series highlighting exemplary organizations supporting the mental health and resiliency of individuals and communities of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC).
