Description
The Georgia Opioid Crisis Abatement Trust distributes opioid litigation settlement funds to mitigate the opioid crisis across Georgia. Its competitive grants support prevention, treatment, recovery, harm reduction, research and evaluation, education, first-responder services, training, and coordinated planning. Projects must align with Georgia’s approved project categories and the settlement agreements’ core strategies and approved uses.
Funding supports new programs, expansion of existing programs, and continuation of existing grant-funded programs—not replacement of current funding. The Trust evaluates alignment with opioid abatement goals, demonstrated need, and potential impact, with possible priority for underserved populations and areas experiencing high rates of opioid-related challenges. Regional Advisory Councils recommend regional awards, while statewide proposals receive subject-matter expert review. The Trustee makes final funding decisions following Georgia Opioid Settlement Advisory Commission review.
