Boulder County, Colo. - Attorney General Phil Weiser and the Colorado Opioid Abatement Council (COAC) are now accepting applications for opioid-abatement funding, including the Resilient Colorado Grant, which offers broad eligibility for nonprofits, schools, healthcare providers, and other organizations. While the Round 4 Infrastructure Funding Opportunity is also open, its eligibility is limited to cities, counties, and regional opioid councils; Boulder County is unlikely to apply for this round.
The funding derives from national opioid settlement proceeds and must be used for future-oriented opioid-abatement strategies. Applicants should review the List of Approved Uses for full eligibility and allowable activities.
Among the opportunities available is the Resilient Colorado Grant, with $12 million in total awards. This grant stands out because eligibility is broad--nonprofits, schools, for-profit organizations and other entities may apply. Awards can reach up to $750,000, with up to $250,000 per year over three years.
