Collaborating for the health of residents in Aurora, Batavia, Big Rock, Blackberry, Kaneville, Sugar Grove and Virgil (local mental health funding and coordination).
Inc Mental Health Alliance concentrates its giving on local behavioral health services for residents of the seven-township service area in south Kane County, with recurring support for mental health, substance use disorder, and developmental or intellectual disabilities programs. The most visible grants in the recent record are large, repeated awards to a small set of community providers, showing a funder that backs ongoing service delivery rather than isolated projects. The Assoc for Individual Dev received $480,980 in 2025 after prior grants of $475,978 in 2024 and $425,717 in 2023 for MH, DD community services. Family Counseling Services also appears as a major recipient, with $390,500 in 2025, following $363,520 in 2024 and $280,050 in 2023 for counseling. Other large awards support domestic violence services, nursing-linked care, and community mental health work in Aurora and nearby towns. The alliance’s program areas point to prevention, education, advocacy, treatment, aftercare, and family support across the local service network.
Mental health counseling is a central theme. Family Counseling Services received $390,500 in 2025 for counseling, and Tricity Family Services received $162,144 in 2024 and $157,683 in 2025 for counseling in Geneva. Domestic violence survivor support also appears in the grant record: Mutual Ground received $294,600 in 2025 for domestic violence services, after awards of $279,800 in 2024 and $266,985 in 2023. For community mental health access, Conley Outreach Comm Svcs in Elburn received $93,095 in 2025 and $82,500 in 2024 for community mental health work. The alliance also funds behavioral health staffing and coordination, including $66,775 in 2025 to Family Focus Inc for community liaison work.
Typical awards sit in the mid-five-figure to low-six-figure range: the p25 grant size is $30,776, the median is $60,435, and the p75 is $125,000. The recent record shows repeat awards across multiple years to the same organizations, including three-year patterns for The Assoc for Individual Dev, Family Counseling Services, Mutual Ground, and Tricity Family Services. That pattern fits a local operating grantmaker rather than a one-time project funder. The alliance does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. The active programs listed are agency grants, core grant funding, community behavioral health grants, and scholarship support for social work education; unsolicited applications are not accepted in the programs where that is specified.

No. The geographic scope is local, and the recent grant record is entirely in Illinois. The service area centers on the seven townships in south Kane County, with grants shown in places such as Aurora, Batavia, Big Rock, Geneva, Elburn, Elgin, and Chicago.
Typical grants cluster around $60,435 at the median, with a lower quartile of $30,776 and an upper quartile of $125,000. The recent grants list also includes several awards above that range, showing support for both ongoing operating needs and larger service contracts.
The active program descriptions indicate that unsolicited applications are not accepted in the programs where that is stated. The foundation’s scholarship program is administered through the Community Foundation of the Fox River Valley, and its agency and community behavioral health grants are presented as local funding programs.
Mental health counseling, domestic violence survivor support, community mental health services, and services for people with developmental or intellectual disabilities appear repeatedly. The record also includes substance use disorder support, nursing-linked care, and community liaison work.
