Supporting Recovery with Nonprofit Grants

Nonprofits and grant funding play important parts in supporting recovery efforts for individuals overcoming addiction. In order to think about recovery, we must first know the scope and magnitude of substance use disorder (SUD). Although substance use disorder is often misunderstood as only affecting marginalized groups, it’s important to recognize that approximately 16.5% of people aged 12 and older meet the medical criteria for SUD. This equates to almost 30 MILLION PEOPLE who share the pain of this affliction! That’s a lot of Americans from all walks of life.

Allow GrantWatch to draw your attention to the fact that THERE IS NONPROFIT GRANT FUNDING currently available that can help provide needed financial support to help communities address this issue. Additionally, GrantWatch has close to 200 grants available in its Substance Abuse grant listing category. The following list of curated grants include nonprofits that specialize in recovery programs, research specialists and doctors, and community based initiatives.
