(Aug. 9, 2024) – The Kansas Fights Addiction grant program, funded with opioid settlement dollars, is now accepting applications for a fourth round of funding. This fourth RFP is similar to the second round of funding KFA offered in 2023, prioritizing strategies related to prevention, providers and health systems, and public safety and first responders that were established by the Kansas Prescription Drug and Opioid Advisory Committee in its 2023-2027 state strategic plan. Eligible entities include nonprofit organizations that provide services in Kansas to prevent, reduce, treat or otherwise abate or remediate substance use disorders. To be eligible, applicants also must release all legal claims arising from covered conduct against each defendant named in the opioid settlement agreements. Organizations may apply for up to $200,000 in grant funding through this fourth RFP, with each grant having a 12-month budget period. There will be an informational webinar from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. on Aug. 14. The confirmation of intent deadline is 5:00 p.m. on Aug. 30. The application deadline is 5:00 p.m. on Sept.13.
