Substance Use grant FAQ
Who funds substance use programs?
Substance Use programs are funded by the same health ecosystem as the rest of the field: HRSA, SAMHSA, and the CDC at the federal level, the state and county health departments that administer and re-grant federal public health and block-grant funds, and private and community foundations. Some funders run dedicated lines; many fund this work through broader health and public health programs.
What can substance use grants pay for?
Funding for substance use prevention, treatment, and recovery programs — opioid and overdose response, medication-assisted treatment, harm reduction, and recovery support — for treatment providers, FQHCs, county health departments, and health nonprofits. Typical eligible costs include clinical and program staff time, treatment and care services, curriculum and equipment, participant and patient supportive services, outreach, and program operations for FQHCs, clinics, treatment providers, county health departments, and health nonprofits.
How do I find substance use grants I'm eligible for?
