Access Fund

FRBH Access Fund supports eligible public safety organizations seeking alignment with the FRBH National Standard but facing financial constraints.

The Fund advances nationally consistent Workforce Behavioral Health Protection by expanding access to structured, governance-embedded safeguards in under-resourced environments.

Purpose

The Access Fund exists to:

- Reduce financial barriers to standards alignment
- Support smaller or resource-limited agencies
- Promote nationally consistent protection infrastructure
- Advance durable organizational safeguards across jurisdictions

Eligibility

Access Fund consideration is available to public safety organizations operating in trauma-exposed environments that demonstrate financial need.

Eligibility determinations are made in accordance with documented FRBH policy.

Prioritization

FRBH recognizes that trauma exposure is inherent across all public safety professions.

In administering the Access Fund, FRBH may prioritize organizations operating in environments characterized by elevated frequency, intensity, or cumulative exposure, particularly where financial constraints limit structural readiness.

Prioritization is guided by documented FRBH policy and does not exclude other eligible organizations.

Award Considerations

Access Fund determinations may consider:

- Organizational size and resource capacity
- Demonstrated financial need
- Commitment to structural standards alignment
- Organizational readiness for implementation

Support is limited and subject to available funding.

Permitted Use of Funds

Access Fund support may be applied toward:

- Standards alignment preparation
- Accreditation-related review processes
- Technical assistance associated with structural readiness

Funds are not provided for clinical services or individual treatment.

Oversight & Structural Separation

The Access Fund is administered under formal governance oversight and subject to financial accountability safeguards.

Access Fund determinations are structurally separated from accreditation decision authority to preserve impartiality.

Funding Sources

The Access Fund is supported through philanthropic contributions, grants, and designated charitable donations. All funds are restricted to Access Fund purposes.
