Community Coalition Grant for 2012-2013

Traveling the Road Together

Virginia ABC is offering Community Coalition grants up to $10,000 to support collaboration between local businesses, community organizations and state agencies as they strive to promote zero tolerance for underage alcohol consumption. These grants encourage prevention initiatives that focus on environmental and educational strategies in their respective communities. Funding is made possible by a federal grant from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP).

The grant application deadline is Friday, June 29, 2012, 5 p.m. All grants will be awarded by August 2012. The grant cycle runs from August 2012 through May 2013.

For complete details, download the 2012–2013 Community Coalition Grant Application Packet (PDF file - Help with Downloads).

Virginia's local and state agencies, police departments, schools and 501C(3) nonprofit community organizations are eligible to apply. Applicants are encouraged to collaborate with community leaders and organizations, including local ABC special agents, law enforcement officers, attorneys, judges, educators, business owners, county and state agencies, medical personnel, service organizations, parents and youth.

Last year, Virginia ABC received 25 Community Coalition grant applications and awarded eight 2011-2012 grants totaling $65,708.
