Statutory Eligibility Requirements, written into the DFC Act, are inherent in the language of the DFC Support Program. Applicants should refer to Table 3: DFC Statutory Eligibility Requirements. Failure to meet any single statutory eligibility requirement will cause the application to be deemed ineligible; in such case, it will not move forward to merit review. The final authority lies with the DFC Administrator to determine the eligibility of an application. Should your application fail to meet the statutory eligibility requirements, the person listed as the AOR on the Application for Federal Assistance (SF-424) will receive a notification stating why the application was deemed ineligible. Additional information may not be added to an application after the application deadline. Complete apps required by deadline. With the exception of the IRS form proving 501(c)(3) status, all forms that demonstrate statutory eligibility must be dated between January 2022 and the deadline for submission of this application. All forms that require signatures must be signed and dated or the application will be screened out and not move forward to merit review. Handwritten and/or electronic signatures are acceptable.

What the grant funds

The Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Support Program was created by the Drug-Free Communities Act of 1997 (Public Law 105-20). The Executive Office of the President, Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) are accepting applications for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Support Program Grants. The purpose of the DFC Support Program is to establish and strengthen collaborations to support the efforts of community coalitions working to prevent and reduce substance use among youth. The DFC Support Program has two goals: 1) Establish and strengthen the collaboration among communities, public and private non-profit agencies, as well as federal, state, local, and tribal governments to support the efforts of community coalitions working to prevent and reduce substance use among youth (individuals 18 years of age and younger). 2) Reduce substance use among youth and, over time, reduce substance use among adults by addressing the factors in a community that increases the risk of substance use and promoting the factors that minimize the risk of substance use. This funding opportunity will fund applicants who have previously received DFC funding or have experienced a lapse in funding or have concluded the first (Year 1 – 5) funding cycle.
