Purpose

Funding to continue expanding services and programing for substance use recovery and mental health support to Kentucky's BIPOC and minoritized communities and/or to reduce the stigma around accessing such interventions. Aims to reduce overdose deaths and increase the overall well-being of these historically under-resourced Kentucky communities.

This grant will only fund projects that:

  • Utilize a trauma-informed and resilience-informed care approach to reduce premature death of BIPOC Kentuckians
  • Provide culturally responsive, evidence-based prevention, mental health treatment, and recovery support services to BIPOC Kentuckians
  • Strengthen treatment and prevention infrastructure through collaborative projects centering BIPOC voices
Eligibility

Nonprofits supporting Kentuckians are eligible. Priority will be given to grass-roots organizations, Black-led organizations, and organizations that primarily work in minoritized, under-resourced, and BIPOC communities.
