Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA CE 26 0061
The Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Support Program, launched under the Drug-Free Communities Act of 1997, offers grant funding for Fiscal Year 2026 to help prevent youth substance use through community collaboration. The program is administered by the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) and the CDC's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC).
Its primary goals are:
1. To build and strengthen partnerships among local communities, nonprofits, and government entities to support youth-focused coalitions. 2. To reduce substance use among youth and, over time, among adults by addressing community risk factors and promoting protective measures.
Eligible applicants include U.S.-based or territorial nonprofits recognized under IRS Section 501(c), as well as coalitions tied to public or private organizations such as tribal groups, colleges, faith-based organizations, and local governments. Crucially, only community-based coalitions that have not previously received a DFC grant may apply.
These coalitions must represent a formal collaboration among different community sectors, working toward a shared goal of creating safer, drug-free environments for young people.
Applicants should align proposals with current federal policy priorities, including various Executive Orders that promote public safety, uphold traditional gender definitions, and enforce merit-based systems.Apply for CDC RFA CE 26 0061
