    SD Statewide Opioid Settlement Community Grant Application

  • Welcome to South Dakota's Statewide Opioid Settlement Funding Application

    We're here to support your organization's work in addressing opioid use disorder and co-occurring substance use challenges in our communities. These settlement funds invest in initiatives that actively prevent, treat, and alleviate the impacts of the opioid crisis across South Dakota.

    What We Fund

    Whether you're expanding treatment services, launching prevention programs, supporting recovery, or addressing the complex intersection of opioid use disorder and co-occurring substance use disorders, we want to hear about your work. All funded activities must align with the Approved Uses outlined in the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) and actively work to abate the ongoing impacts of the opioid crisis and co-occurring conditions.

    For detailed information about eligible activities, funding guidelines, and the application process, please review our Frequently Asked Questions.
