October 29, 2024 - ONEOHIO RECOVERY FOUNDATION BOARD HOLDS SPECIAL VIRTUAL MEETING
At a special virtual Board of Directors meeting of the OneOhio Recovery Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization charged with helping distribute Ohio’s opioid settlement funds to advance substance use prevention, treatment, and recovery efforts, preliminary approval was granted for 73 additional funding awards totaling more than $14 million.
Board Chair Don Mason reiterated the importance of getting additional grant approvals completed quickly. “Putting these grant dollars to work in communities is key to saving lives, and today’s round of approvals is another big step forward in our fight to combat the ongoing effects of our state’s addiction epidemic.”
