At a Glance

Funding is available for West Side and South Side Opioid and Heroin Taskforce(s). These taskforces will organize all operations, working primarily to assemble and engage community members and stakeholders in a collaborative campaign that includes outreach, education, harm reduction, and referral activities. The community must be involved in every aspect of the work; the work must demonstrate cultural humility and accountability and be informed by an understanding and consideration of traumatic experiences (e.g. early childhood, historical, cultural, primary, and secondary).
Non-profit, for-profit, and tax-exempt organizations throughout Illinois, particularly in areas disproportionately affected by the opioid crisis, are encouraged to apply.
A total of $5,250,000 is available to be awarded over a period of 3 years. Up to 2 organizations may be funded. The anticipated award range is up to $875,000 for each geographical area (West Side or South Side) per period of performance. The initial period of performance spans 7/1/24-6/30/25.

Information about the Notice of Funding Opportunity is organized into four main topics: the NOFO, the application, the budget, and FAQs.

The NOFO includes all program requirements and terms and conditions related to the award.
