Hi Everyone-

Friendly reminder the Comer Family Foundation's open grant cycle closes at midnight on November 1st. If you are also working on the AIDS United Harm Reduction Futures application, the questions are nearly identical, with intention, so you can copy/paste.  Questions?  Write to grants at comerfamilyfoundation.org<mailto:grants at comerfamilyfoundation.org>

More information below:

Please review eligibility<https://www.comerfamilyfoundation.org/syringe-service-program/grant-applicants.html> before applying and make sure funding priorities are a good fit.  Due to the high volume of programs in the US,  Comer is seen as primarily start-up funding in areas with little to no programming and/or little to no funding.  They prioritize funding for supplies.

Those ready to apply should go to the grant portal<https://www.grantinterface.com/Home/Logon?urlkey=comer> to start the process.

Eligibility:

  *   Organizations with total organizational budgets less than $600,000

  *   Organizations grounded in harm reduction principle and practice providing access to sterile syringes, safer smoking, and snorting kits, through comprehensive harm reduction syringe service programs (SSPs)
  *   Harm reduction syringe service programs in operation for one full year

Funding Priorities:

  *   Organizations in geographic areas in which access to sterile syringes can be dramatically improved
  *   Organizations serving areas in which policy improvements can have local, state, and/or national impact
  *   Organizations serving areas with higher HIV/AIDS and HCV prevalence, injection drug use prevalence, overdose incidence
  *   Organizations led by and accountable to Black, Indigenous, and people of color
  *   Organizations led by people who use drugs
  *   Organizations with limited funding available for harm reduction
  *   Organizations actively developing local and community financial support
  *   Statewide strategic partnerships

All the best,
Mary
