PA Commission on Crime and Delinquency

The Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD) recently put out three funding announcements related to the Substance Abuse Education Demand and Reduction Act. Non-profit organizations are eligible to apply for all three solicitations; however, the Categories Two and Three Funding Announcement is more specific in what type of nonprofit can apply.

Substance Abuse Education and Demand Reduction Category 1 Funds – Adult and Youth Focus

  • The Office of Justice Programs announces the availability of Substance Abuse Education and Demand Reduction (SAEDR) Category One funds for the implementation of new projects focused on the adult community through the release of the 2020 Substance Abuse Education, Category 1 – Adult funding announcement. Funding is available for nonprofit organizations to provide research-based approaches to prevention, intervention, training, treatment, and education services to reduce substance use or to provide resources to assist families in accessing these services.
  • PCCD is accepting applications for funding under the state Substance Abuse Education and Demand Reduction (SAEDR) Fund, which exists to support projects designed to educate the public about the dangers of substance abuse and/or reduce demand for these substances. The act mandates the use of SAEDR funds to award grants in specifically defined categories to eligible organizations. Funding is available for nonprofit organizations to serve youth with research-based or evidence-based approaches to prevention, intervention, training, treatment, and education.

Substance Abuse Education and Demand Reduction Category Two and Three Funds

The Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency’s (PCCD) Office of Justice Programs announces the availability of Substance Abuse Education and Demand Reduction (SAEDR) Category Two and Category Three funds to support the implementation of strategies aimed at combating opioid/heroin overdoses in Pennsylvania communities. Under this solicitation, funds are being made available for projects designed to educate the public about the dangers of substance use and/or reduce demand for these substances under the following two categories:

  • Category Two funds are intended to educate youth, caregivers of youth, and employers about the dangers of substance abuse. They are also intended to increase the awareness of the benefits of a drug-free Pennsylvania through media-related efforts that may include public service announcements, public awareness campaigns, and media literacy. Special consideration will be given to projects that focus on the use of opiates within the commonwealth.
  • Category Three funds are intended to educate employers, unions, and employees about the dangers of substance use in the workplace. They are also intended to provide comprehensive drug-free workplace programs and technical resources for businesses, including, but not limited to, training for working parents to keep their children drug-free.
