Boulder County, Colo. — Boulder County's Community Services Department opened a new Continuum of Care grant opportunity for organizations working to prevent and address opioid and substance use across the region. The application opens today, June 15, 2026. Applicants will need to create an account on Foundant to access grant details and to apply.

The funding opportunity is broadly eligible and open to organizations through a competitive application process. Grants support new or existing programs, allowing applicants to sustain or expand current services or pilot new programming.

Programs may apply for funding across six short-term goal areas identified in the Boulder County Region 2025–2028 Opioid Abatement Plan. The goal areas span the plan's four strategic pillars: prevention and education, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery. All proposals must align with the substance use services continuum of care, from prevention through recovery. The opportunity is designed to allow flexibility and creativity in how services are designed and delivered, and multiple organizations may receive awards. Interested organizations can find the full grant details in the Applicant Resource Drive.

The abatement plan reflects the region's vision of a community with an increased quality of life, fewer overdose deaths, and a full spectrum of culturally responsive substance use services available without stigma. Resulting funding awards will support programming during the 2027–2028 period.
