Opioid Settlement Grant Application
Please ensure all required materials are included with your application, as incomplete submissions will be disqualified from this grant cycle.
The Board of Miami County Commissioners created the Opioid Settlement Grant Program as a means to disperse settlement funds received through the One Ohio Agreement for the duration of the settlement. These grants will be awarded to eligible non-profit organizations for programming that aligns with the Abatement Strategies outlined in Exhibit A of the One Ohio Memorandum of Understanding (OR 2021-35 Exhibit 1).
The One Ohio MOU provides this guideline for the use of settlement dollars:
Funds from any settlement dollars should be used to prevent, treat, and support recovery from addiction including opioids and/or any other co-occurring substance use and/or mental health conditions which are all long-lasting (chronic) diseases that can cause major health, social, and economic problems at the individual, family, and/or community level.
Please direct all questions to:
