About addiction & substance abuse grants
Addiction and substance-abuse recovery grants fund treatment, peer support, recovery housing, prevention, and harm-reduction programs run by nonprofits and community organizations. The largest source is the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), which funds peer-run groups through programs like the Recovery Community Services Program and Building Communities of Recovery, and channels treatment dollars to states through block grants and State Opioid Response funding. Private funders and regional health foundations supplement this federal support.
A long list is the starting point, not the shortlist. Our grant prospecting guide shows how to narrow addiction & substance abuse grants down to the funders most likely to say yes, using their giving records.

What grants are available for addiction recovery programs?
Available grants support a wide range of work, including outpatient and residential treatment, peer recovery support, recovery community organizations, recovery housing, prevention education, and overdose response. Some funding flows directly from federal agencies to nonprofits, while a large share passes through state behavioral-health agencies that then subgrant to local providers. Recovery community organizations are a specific focus of several dedicated SAMHSA programs.
Does SAMHSA fund substance-abuse programs?
Yes. SAMHSA is the primary federal funder of substance-use prevention, treatment, and recovery services. It distributes large block grants to states for community-based treatment and prevention, runs the State Opioid Response program, and funds peer-led organizations through programs such as the Recovery Community Services Program and Building Communities of Recovery. Many local nonprofits access this money as subrecipients of their state agency.
Who else funds recovery and treatment nonprofits?
Beyond SAMHSA, funding comes from state and county behavioral-health departments, opioid-settlement funds administered by states and localities, and private and community foundations focused on health and addiction. Health-system community-benefit programs and United Way chapters also support local recovery services. Diversifying across federal pass-through dollars, settlement funds, and philanthropy helps recovery nonprofits stay sustainable.
