Last November, the citizens of Piatt County voted in favor of a tax referendum that would provide funding to the 708 Mental Health Board. 

Now, they are ready to begin accepting applications in anticipation of distributing those dollars to local organizations. Tony Kirkman, Executive Director of the Piatt County Mental Health Center explains with the newfound funding for the mental health board, non-profits can now apply for funding for FY26. 

While the board may move to electronic applications in the future, Kirkman indicates that this time around, you must fill out a paper application to receive funding. That being said, he calls the process very simple. 

The Piatt County 708 Board is committed to being good stewards of the dollars that have been given to them by the tax payers. To learn more about the application process, visit piattmhc.org.
