Grant Funding Announcement!

Maryland has announced $12.4 million in competitive grant awards from Maryland’s Opioid Restitution Fund. The funds will be used to support 28 programs addressing overdose in Maryland using proceeds from prescription opioid-related legal settlements.

These funds come from the State Discretionary Abatement Fund (a subcategory of funding specified by Maryland’s State-Subdivision Agreement) following a Request for Applications released in July 2024.
