Douglas County is accepting applications for the 2025 One Nevada Community Grant. Nonprofit organizations that provide significant benefits to county residents are encouraged to apply.
Not to be confused with either HUD Community Development Block Grants or the county’s community grant program, which is on hiatus, this grant is available due to a $1.1 billion opioid statewide settlement with pharmaceutical companies.
Douglas is competing with other jurisdictions for funds.
One Nevada funds cannot be used to replace existing funding streams available to state, local, regional, or tribal entities.
Grants may be awarded by county commissioners through a resolution for nonprofit community organizations that serve religious, charitable, or educational purposes, or to government entities.
The funding, governed by Nevada law, is intended to provide substantial benefits to county residents.
Eligible grant projects must align with one or more of the following focus areas:
Case management for individuals affected by substance use disorders
Opioid prescription education
School-based initiatives related to substance use prevention
Criminal justice system interventions for substance-related cases
Public education campaigns on opioid abuse
Detox-to-treatment transition support
Aftercare and recovery services
Recovery workforce development
Expanding access to evidence-based prevention, treatment, and recovery programs
Preventing adverse childhood experiences (ACEs)
Early intervention for children affected by ACEs
Infectious disease prevention and treatment in individuals with substance use disorders
Behavioral health crisis services
Housing for individuals in recovery from substance use disorders
Capital projects related to substance use disorders, including construction, purchasing, and remodeling
Applications will be evaluated based on eligible uses outlined in the opioid settlement agreements and the One Nevada Agreement. Additional consideration will be given to applications that demonstrate collaboration with existing Douglas County programs.
Grant applications will be available starting September 6, 2024. The deadline for submission is October 31, 2024, by 11:59 p.m. Late submissions will not be considered unless funding remains available.
