The OOCC is pleased to announce our Competitive Grant Program for fiscal year 2023! The purpose of the Competitive Grant Program is to distribute grant funding to the highest-scoring proposals received from state and local governments and community-based partners that serve to meet the greatest needs around the state. The funding available for the OOCC’s FY 23 Competitive Grants Program is approximately $5 million.
Who is Eligible
State agencies, local governments (including local school systems), and community-based partners are eligible to apply for Competitive Grant Program funding.

Additionally, projects must align with the goals established in the state’s Inter-Agency Opioid Coordination Plan.
