2025-2026 Drug-Free Coalition Grant Workshop

This was a workshop held by the Tippecanoe County Government on October 9, 2024, focused on the 2025-2026 Drug-Free Coalition Grant application process. The meeting provided detailed guidance on how to complete the grant application through the Civic Plus platform, including instructions on submitting budgets, letters of support, equipment quotes, and narratives. Attendees were advised on writing SMART goals aligned with the coalition's problem statements and goals, preparing budgets with clear funding sources, and ensuring proper documentation for procurement-related expenses such as equipment and contracts. The workshop also covered the grant review and approval timeline, emphasizing the importance of clear, evidence-based proposals and proper justification for requested funds. Approximately $180,000 in funding was anticipated to be allocated among four areas, with an emphasis on maximizing funds available to county agencies by minimizing administrative costs.
