Welcome to our “Grant Help and Funding Opportunities” page.

One of the main challenges we heard from communities receiving settlement funds was that the grant process was complex. When local governments receive settlement funds and select various opioid abatement strategies, they often open up funding opportunities for individuals and organizations to conduct research or implement the necessary strategies. However, many local governments lack robust grant management services. We frequently heard that local non-profits and health service providers, while requesting funding from local government settlement funds, faced challenges such as not knowing how to write a formal grant proposal, being unsure of what terminology to use, and how to develop an award budget. Additionally, local grant managers often cannot respond to every request for assistance in revising a proposal, leaving individuals or organizations to navigate the process on their own.

Here, you’ll find comprehensive resources, including detailed grant writing guides, glossaries, and more. Additionally, entities such as the Legal Action Center, and Christine Minhee, J.D. of OpioidSettlementTracker.com have started to compile opioid settlement fund grant trackers (see their dashboard below). These are helpful to see how your state is notifying those who wish to submit applications for funding opportunities related to opioid abatement.
