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

With no part of BC left untouched by overdose it is recognized that the most effective action comes from strengthening local responses. In partnership with the Provincial Overdose Emergency Response Centre (OERC), CAI is offering funding for rural, remote & Indigenous overdose initiatives or projects.

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.
