Learn how to prepare for drug prevention grant funding with a practical, beginner-friendly online course designed for nonprofits, coalitions, schools, and community organizations.

This self-paced training helps participants understand the prevention grant landscape, assess organizational readiness, avoid common funding mistakes, and choose evidence-based prevention programs that align with funder expectations and community needs.

Rather than focusing only on writing a proposal, this course helps organizations build the foundation funders look for: clear goals, strong partnerships, credible data, fiscal readiness, and a realistic implementation plan.

Participants will learn how to:

• Understand common sources of prevention grant funding
• Evaluate whether their organization is ready to apply
• Identify what funders typically look for in prevention proposals
• Avoid “chasing the money” when a grant does not fit the organization
• Strengthen proposals with credible evidence-based programming
• Create clearer next steps for pursuing prevention funding

Ideal for: nonprofit leaders, coalition coordinators, school prevention staff, public health professionals, youth-serving organizations, and grant writers.
