Who Can Apply

The Grand Traverse County Health Department is accepting proposals from eligible local agencies, community organizations, and coalitions involved in opioid prevention, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery.

The application period opened September 14 and closes Friday, November 20, 2026. Published county reporting specifies a 5 p.m. electronic submission deadline.

How the Funding Works

The county describes two types of awards, including smaller opioid-mitigation mini-grants and larger proposals covering extended program work.

Mini-grants can be worth up to $10,000 each, with $100,000 available in that category according to the November 7 announcement.

Potential uses include developing, continuing, improving, or expanding programs addressing opioid use and related substance-use or mental-health challenges.

Award amounts will depend on available funds, application quality, and county priorities.

Where to Find Details

Interested organizations should review the official request for proposals, eligibility rules, and application instructions rather than relying on a general news summary.

Applications will be reviewed through the county's opioid advisory process, with final funding approval by county commissioners.
