Community Prevention Project Grants

AADAC recognizes the importance of communities in developing projects that educate, prevent and/or reduce the harms related to alcohol, tobacco, other drugs and gambling problems. Community organizations and groups can identify issues, clarify needs and deliver projects relevant to their particular community.

While the overall focus of the grant funding continues to support prevention initiatives that are driven by priorities defined within the community, we also encourage agencies and communities to consider developing projects that could create local synergy with the current national and provincial focus on reducing alcohol-related harm.

To encourage community-based responses and to share the responsibility for community response to identified issues, AADAC consults with eligible non-profit agencies and provides grant funding (up to $5,000). Eligibility is based on your agency’s capability and capacity to complete a project that educates people in your community about the harms related to alcohol, tobacco, other drugs and gambling, and prevents/reduces those harms.
