Washington County is accepting applications for community-based projects that will be funded by opioid settlement dollars. The county’s Opioid Settlement Council awarded its first round of grants totaling more than $500,000 to eight community-based projects in 2024.
Up to $700,000 of Washington County opioid settlement funding will be distributed through this round of applications in 2025. This funding opportunity is open to everyone, and applicants can range from organizations to individual community members.
Eligible projects must serve Washington County community members and fall into one of 13 categories, including the priority categories of treating opioid use disorder (OUD); addressing the needs of criminal justice-involved persons; and preventing overdose deaths and other harms (harm reduction). Diversity and underserved communities will be prioritized across all funding categories.
Those interested can view the application form at WashingtonCountyMN.gov/OpioidSettlementFunding to learn more and apply. Applications are due by Oct. 10, 2025, at 4:30 p.m.
