About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is soliciting applications for the Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Support Program Competing Continuation (Year 6) grants, funded under CFDA 93.276, for community coalitions completing their first five-year cycle or experiencing a lapse in funding; no application due date is stated in this forecast.

Eligible applicants are community-based coalitions that have previously received a DFC grant (Years 1–5), have experienced a lapse in funding, or have concluded the first five-year funding cycle and are applying for a second five-year cycle. The applicant organization must be a nonprofit as defined by the IRS as a 501(c) organization, an entity the Administrator determines appropriate, or part of or associated with an established legally recognized domestic public or private nonprofit organization. Eligible entities include state and local governments, federally recognized and state-recognized tribes, urban Indian organizations, public or private universities and colleges, professional associations, voluntary organizations, self-help groups, consumer and provider services-oriented constituency groups, community- and faith-based organizations, and tribal organizations. A DFC legal applicant must reside within the United States or U.S. territories.

Applicants must provide 100–150 percent cash or in-kind match. Award magnitudes typically range from $250,000 to $750,000 for five-year performance periods. Applicant coalitions must demonstrate at least six months of prior substance abuse reduction work, maintain a 12-sector membership structure, ensure substantial volunteer effort, and commit to program evaluation. Performance periods range from 1 to 5 years, with potential non-competitive continuation contingent on satisfactory progress and federal funding availability.

The program supports community coalitions preventing and reducing youth substance use (individuals 18 years old and younger) and, over time, reducing adult substance use by addressing risk factors and promoting protective factors.

Forecast synopsis

The Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Support Program was created by the Drug-Free Communities Act of 1997 (Public Law 105-20). The Executive Office of the President, Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) are accepting applications for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Support Program Grants.
The purpose of the DFC Support Program is to establish and strengthen collaborations to support the efforts of community coalitions working to prevent and reduce substance use among youth.
By statute, the DFC Support Program has two goals: 1) Establish and strengthen the collaboration among communities, public and private non-profit agencies, as well as federal, state, local, and tribal governments to support the efforts of community coalitions working to prevent and reduce substance use among youth (individuals 18 years of age and younger).
2) Reduce substance use among youth and, over time, reduce substance use among adults by addressing the factors in a community that increases the risk of substance use and promoting the factors that minimize the risk of substance use.
This funding opportunity will fund applicants who have concluded the first (Year 1 - 5) funding cycle or have experienced a lapse in funding.

Eligibility

Eligible applicants are community-based coalitions addressing youth substance use that have previously received a DFC grant (Year 1-5), have experienced a lapse in funding, or have concluded the first five-year funding cycle and are applying for a second five-year funding cycle.A DFC legal applicant (an organization applying on behalf of a coalition, the coalition, or the applicant coalition) must reside within the United States and/or the U.S. territories.Applicants must be a nonprofit (as defined by the IRS as a 501(c) organization); or an entity that the Administrator determines to be appropriate; or part of, or is associated with an established legally recognized domestic, public or private nonprofit organization.These entities can include state and local governments, federally recognized tribes, state-recognized tribes, urban Indian organizations (as defined in Pub. L. No. 94-437), public or private universities and colleges, professional associations, voluntary organizations, self-help groups, consumer and provider services-oriented constituency groups, community- and faith-based organizations, and tribal organizations. (Pub. L. No. 114-198 Sec 103).For the purposes of this NOFO and the DFC Support Program, a coalition is defined as a community-based formal arrangement for cooperation and collaboration among groups or sectors of a community in which each group retains its identity, but all agree to work together toward a common goal of building a safe, healthy, and drug-free community.
