Describe the grant process and requirements for the grantees:
The JCDFC serves as an advisory board to the County Commissioners and
County Council recommending worthy projects and programs for funding through
the local Community Drug Fund. This fund is established through assessed fees
from alcohol/drug convictions in Jackson County, as mandated by state law. The
grants are available to various organizations, schools, law enforcement, treatment
facilities and community projects or programs. Applicants must address the issues
of alcohol/drug education and prevention, treatment or justice, seeking to reduce
substance abuse problems in our county. The grants are advertised in early spring,
with applications due at the April meeting of the Drug-Free Council each year. The
grant process is overseen by the Executive Committee, and a local grant oversight
committee is comprised of three active members who secure up to five members
not seeking grants to review grant applications and make recommendations.
Applications are reviewed, and each applicant may appear before the committee
for an interview for a brief question and answer session if needed. The Drug-Free
Council requires written semi-annual reports from each grantee after funding is
disbursed as well as an annual presentation in person to JCDFC. Each grantee is
required to attend council meetings, and be actively involved with the workings of
the Council.
