The Town of Barnstable is requesting applications for Opioid Abatement funding from public or private, state and federally recognized nonprofit organizations, agencies, partnerships, or other interested parties to provide services, programs, or initiatives that will mitigate the impacts of the Opioid epidemic.

This process included large, facilitated community conversations and smaller focus groups. The input received through this process will be incorporated into funding decisions.
The Town of Barnstable will issue one-year grants of up to $50,000. Grants must be applied for each year. Grant applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
