Dear Association Executives - The National Council for Mental Wellbeing, with support from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is excited to announce an upcoming grant funding opportunity to support overdose prevention efforts.
Through a competitive Request for Funding Applications (RFA) process, the National Council will select up to 25 community behavioral health organizations, harm reduction organizations and other community-based organizations. Funding will support organizations to implement evidence-based or promising strategies to enhance and expand critical services that reduce the risk of overdose by increasing engagement in evidence-based and innovative harm reduction strategies, linkage to care and peer support services. Awards will be made in amounts of up to $100,000 for yearlong projects beginning in March 2023. In addition to funding, selected sites will receive and participate in training and technical assistance (TTA) opportunities. Eligible applicants include community-based organizations in the U.S. that provide services within a city or county with a population of 400,000 people or more. Applicants should use the 2020 - 2021 U.S. Census population totals to confirm city or county eligibility.
To learn more about the funding opportunity and upcoming RFA launch, join the National Council for an informational Office Hour on Wednesday, Jan. 11, 2023, at 1 p.m. ET.
The RFA will launch on Jan. 9, 2023.
