Grant Description
Grants to Ohio nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and faith-based entities to reduce and prevent substance use and misuse among youth in eligible locations. Funding is intended for mobilizing, planning, and implementing substance abuse programming. Projects must serve communities and residents within Hamilton County.

The grant is intended to improve the capacity of a current coalition or group looking to implement prevention. Substance use/misuse prevention is defined as preventing the onset of alcohol and other drug (AoD) use, misuse, and substance use disorders. AoD prevention is a planned sequence of activities that, through the practice and application of evidence-based prevention principles, policies, strategies, and programs, is intended to inform, educate, develop skills, reduce risk behaviors, affect environmental factors, and/or provide referrals to other services.

This grant is not intended to merely fund programs that do not move the capacity of a coalition or prevention-intended group. The movement toward positive community change focused on substance use/misuse prevention in a particular community must be demonstrated.

  • Goal 1: To increase community collaboration: Establish and strengthen collaboration among community sectors and county entities to support the efforts of community coalitions to prevent/reduce substance use/misuse among youth (individuals 25 and younger).
  • Goal 2: To reduce youth substance use/misuse: Reduce substance use/misuse among youth and, over time, among adults by addressing the factors in the community that increase the risk of substance use/misuse and promoting the factors that minimize the risk of substance use/misuse. Substances include, but are not limited to narcotics, depressants, stimulants, hallucinogens, cannabis/marijuana, inhalants, alcohol, and tobacco, e-cigarettes/vaping where use is prohibited by federal, state, or local law

Applicants will choose whether they will be using the funds for prevention coalition development focused on either 1) mobilizing; 2) planning; or 3) implementation.
