Capacity Building Grant Opportunity for Recovery Programs -

Foundation for Opioid Response Efforts (FORE) Community-Driven Responses to Opioid Use Disorder and Overdose Mortality 2025 https://forefdn.org/grants-and-funding/

Grants supporting community-based organizations’ capacity to address opioid use disorder and overdose mortality through work such as organizational strengthening, program development, and community partnerships. Funding is for specific activities or projects designed to strengthen an organization’s operations, leadership, technology, programmatic, and administrative capacity.

FORE will be holding an informational webinar at 2pm ET on June 5, 2025, to discuss the RFP and answer your questions. See website.

Deadline:
07/02/2025

Note: Capacity Building grants can be used to:
• Enhance Operational Effectiveness to improve productivity and organizational functioning in areas such as administration, finance, human resources, and technology to plan for longer-term sustainability and diversified funding. (E.g. Conduct internal
policy assessment and develop new financial management and reporting systems to enhance the ability to pursue new funding sources.)

• Strengthen Communication efforts to raise awareness about an organization’s mission and attract attention and resources to the organization. (E.g. Develop and implement a communications plan or community training program to reduce stigma and increase
awareness of local OUD and overdose prevention resources.)

• Strengthen and Evaluate Programming to enhance access and delivery of evidence based OUD services to more individuals and families in their communities. (E.g. Hire community health workers, peer support specialists, or outreach staff and evaluate
community impact of programs.)

• Foster Collaborations with a broader range of allies – education, workforce, criminal justice and specialty courts, primary and behavioral healthcare – to strengthen community engagement that results in stronger and expanded services. (E.g. Establish a
new partnership to establish peer recovery or harm reduction support services in new community settings such as hospitals or family courts.)

Please let the Grant Advantage know if you would like our assistance in planning for or preparing a proposal for this opportunity. Or want to include Grant Writing as part of your capacity-building plan.

Now more than ever, it is critical for us to think creatively, test new approaches, remove silos, and enhance and expand activities proven to prevent and reduce opioid use disorder. We are committed to fostering new ideas and approaches and scaling those activities that are already showing evidence-...
