Grant Award Wednesday - New Grant Awards Announced!
Today the OneOhio Recovery Foundation announced it has awarded nearly $2.8 million in grants to 16 organizations across the state to help combat substance misuse by supporting prevention, treatment and recovery efforts across Ohio.
“We continue to make good progress finalizing grants and putting Ohio’s opioid settlement money to work combating the addiction epidemic,” said OneOhio Recovery Foundation Executive Director Alisha Nelson. “These grant awards today represent both the strong commitment of people and organizations on the frontlines to prevent, treat and provide recovery from substance use disorder. It’s an honor to support their work to strengthen Ohio."
New OneOhio Grantees:
NOTE: Additional grant awards will be announced in the future. Grants announced today should not be considered an exhaustive list.
These 16 new grant awards are part of more than $51 million allocated for the 2024 Regional Grant Cycle and were selected from 1,442 funding requests totaling $581 million from organizations statewide. Grantees were chosen in a collaborative process that included input from the OneOhio Regions, Expert Panel, Grant Oversight Committee and Board of Directors.
Additionally, the OneOhio Recovery Foundation’s Board of Directors has given preliminary approval for more than 125 additional grant awards. This approval authorizes Foundation staff to negotiate grant agreements with recipient organizations, and awards are publicly announced once grantee organizations complete the grant verification process. Several grant recommendations remain in the review process.
Grant Award Wednesdays will continue, as needed, through the end of 2024 or until all grant awards are announced. A complete list of recipients can be found at OneOhioFoundation.com/GrantAwards.
The 2024 Regional Grant Cycle is just the first of several grant opportunities to come. Organizations and leaders seeking to submit applications in the future can sign-up on the Foundation’s website here to receive updates.
