Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Support Program- NEW (Year 1)
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 never received DFC funding.

Additional Information of Eligibility:
Eligible applicants are community-based coalitions addressing youth substance use that have not yet previously received a DFC grant. A DFC applicant must reside within the United States and/or the U. S. territories. The applicant can only be in receipt of one DFC grant at a time and cannot apply on behalf of multiple coalitions.
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, which contains a summary of the requirements, the evidence required, and where to place it in the application. 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 Authorized Representative 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.
It is the responsibility of the applicant to submit a complete application prior to the application 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.
Refer to APPENDIX E: Statutory Eligibility Requirements (SER) Checklist. The SER Checklist can be used to ensure you have the required evidence to meet the DFC Statutory Eligibility Requirements.
