Community Action Initiative is pleased to announce a new funding opportunity!

Applications must be in alignment with the OERC’s core package of comprehensive interventions and applicants are encouraged to align with recommendations made during the October 2019 Rural and Indigenous Overdose Action Exchange. Applicants can apply for up to $50,000 in one-time-only funding.
