Welcome > What We Fund > Substance Abuse

Substance Abuse

Substance Abuse is defined as the use of illegal drugs or the use of prescription or over-the-counter drugs or alcohol for purposes other than those for which they are meant to be used, or in excessive amounts.  Substance abuse may lead to social, physical, emotional, and job-related problems.

We are currently gathering information and data to help us determine the state of the substance abuse field. It is anticipated that a report of our findings will be posted in January 2012.

Subsequently, further information about substance abuse grant opportunities will be posted based on both our research and the results of the Foundation’s strategic plan.
