REQUEST FOR FUNDING APPLICATIONS

There are two funding applications available. Please read the application descriptions carefully. Use of the wrong application will render your application non-compliant.

Direct Service Funding Application - This funding application is designed for agencies seeking funding to provide substance abuse prevention services directly to youth, families and other at-risk individuals of Idaho. All applicants will need to submit a complete funding application, as well as the usual required documentation.

The Direct Service RFA is split into two sections: Application Instructions and the Application Packet. You will need both to successfully apply for funding.
