The Perry County Substance Abuse Committee (PCSAC)'s mission is to address health and social issues in the community resulting from substance abuse. This will be accomplished by coordinating with existing community resources to heighten public awareness and to develop programs to prevent, reduce and treat substance abuse. 

In coordination of PCSAC's mission, the committee is offering a community grant to assist local projects that align with preventing, reducing, and treating substance abuse.

Substance abuse prevention or education, law enforcement/justice, or treatment/intervention projects are encouraged to apply. 

Applicants should state the problem the project will address; how the problem to be addressed relates to—and addresses—a specific problem identified by the Comprehensive Plan developed by the PCSAC; the population the project will serve; project goals and objectives—with specific time frames; and how success of the program will be measured/evaluated. 

When applying for a grant with the PCSAC, it's crucial to follow the provided guidelines to ensure a smooth application process. Initially, applicants must download the original application documents from the specified source. After carefully filling out these documents, they need to be scanned and then submitted via email to [email protected]. However, before completing the application, it is important to also download and thoroughly review the Comprehensive Community Plan as it contains essential information that will guide the completion of the grant application. This step is crucial for aligning your application with the PCSAC's objectives and requirements.
