Description
This grant opportunity, administered by the Rhode Island Foundation in partnership with the Executive Office of Health and Human Services, funds programs that address the opioid crisis in Rhode Island. Funding supports four strategic areas: trauma supports for first responders, recovery supports and capital for individuals/families/communities, youth community-based prevention, and adaptable responses to emerging overdose issues. All projects must be trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and designed to reduce disparities—especially for BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and other disproportionately impacted populations. Funded initiatives are expected to align with Rhode Island’s opioid settlement guiding principles and overdose strategic plan, promote equity, and ensure compliance with ADA and CLAS standards. Grantees are required to provide regular progress reports and participate in relevant advisory meetings.
