Details:
This grant will fund one nonprofit organization which seeks to create or bolster their own competitive grant program or programs that provide supportive services to individuals with SUD. A competitive grant program is one in which a request for funding is adjudicated against criteria set by the grantor prior to the solicitation of grant applications/proposals.
Applicants must propose to operate one or more grant programs which provide supportive services to individuals seeking treatment for substance use disorder (SUD).
