Grant Cycle

What’s the funding cycle?

Most of the funding will occur twice a year. Applications are due each Jan. 31 and July 31 (although you can submit year-round). The council reviews them in February and August. Applicants make their presentations in March and September and funding decisions are announced after the presentations.

In addition, the council may identify specific unmet needs and announce grants for them on an ad hoc basis. Application deadlines, review periods and decision timelines would vary with each announcement.

How do the two types of grants differ?

The biannual grants will fund programs meeting five needs, and successful proposals must address at least one of them:

• Youth prevention
• Community prevention, education and awareness
• Medication-assisted treatment/medications for opioid use disorder
• Recovery supports and transitions
• Family advocacy

The ad hoc grants will be more flexible, funding community needs and service gaps identified by the Council.
