The Talbot County Government has announced the FY2025 Opioid Restitution Fund Community Micro Grant Program. This initiative provides non-profit organizations with active 501(c)3 status the opportunity to apply for one-time funding allocations ranging from $1,000 to $20,000 to support programs and services addressing the opioid crisis in Talbot County. Grant funds must be used by June 30, 2026.
The Opioid Restitution Fund stems from settlements with pharmaceutical companies and distributors held accountable for their role in fueling the opioid crisis. Talbot County is leveraging these funds to invest in community-based solutions, focusing on prevention, treatment, and recovery initiatives to address the ongoing impact of the epidemic.
Applications must be submitted to the Talbot County Sheriff’s Office by Friday, February 21, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. Late submissions will not be considered.
“The opioid epidemic continues to impact families and communities across Talbot County. This funding presents an opportunity to invest in programs and initiatives that save lives and provide critical support to those affected by opioid use disorder,” said Sheriff Joe Gamble. “I encourage our local non-profits to submit their ideas and partner with us to make a real difference.”
