Congratulations Drug-Free Communities Grantees

Last night the grantees were announced for the Drug-Free Communities Support Program.

 

Here-4-You Christian Grant Consulting was successful in securing FIVE out of the SIX grants on which we worked. We secured all THREE of the grants that were fully written and developed by Here-4-You Christian Grant Consulting and TWO of the THREE proposals on which we consulted. The clients we consulted with received an easy-to-follow outline for writing the grant, a comprehensive review of the proposal, and scoring of the application using the same scoring system used by the Drug-Free Communities Support Program.

 

This brings our success rate with the DFC Program to 12 out of 14 or 86%.

 

We normally do not announce when we are successful at securing grants. We do not want to be boastful and, Lord knows, there are many grants that we are not successful in securing. However, knowing how competitive this year’s DFC funding program was going to be, we are particularly proud of our ongoing success with this federal grant program.

The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) directs the Drug Free Communities Support Program in partnership with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). This anti-drug program provides grants of up to $125,000 per year for 5 years ($625,000 total) to community coalitions that mobilize their communities to prevent youth alcohol, tobacco, illicit drug, and inhalant abuse.

 

For FY2010 ONDCP awarded 169 regular new grants, 16 new mentoring grants, 549 regular continuation grants, and 7 continuation mentor grants.

  

One of this year’s recipients noted:

"We were just saying how incredibly glad we are to have used your services! We know that it made such a huge difference in our successful applications. Your help was invaluable—thank you!!"

 

If you review my experience, you will see that I am not just a successful grant writer.

• I am a substance abuse prevention expert with nationally recognized credentials.
• I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a private practice focused on substance abusing adolescents.
• I am nationally recognized as a public speaker and trainer and have presented at the CADCA National Leadership Conference in Washington DC.
• I am a successful nonprofit executive with over a decade of experience working for Community Anti-Drug Coalitions.
• I am the Chair Emeritus of the Board of Directors for my local Community Anti-Drug Coalition (a year 6 DFC Grantee).

I would welcome the opportunity to work with your organization on the 2011 DFC Grant Cycle which should be announced this coming January.
