(HEAP): Mini-Grants

FUNDING STATUS: OPEN

The HEAP Mini-Grants provide direct funding to SUD treatment/recovery organizations and community-based organizations to engage racial/ethnic minorities in Delaware who are impacted by OUD/STUD. This funding opportunity will be administered by Bowling Business Strategies (BBS) on behalf of DSAMH, for an eight-month implementation period from February 1, 2025, to September 29, 2025. There are two tracks available under this funding opportunity – review the solicitation for additional information on eligibility and project design:

 

  • HEAP CBO (up to $50,000, maximum 10 awards): This track is open to community-based organizations (CBOs), as well as mental health (non-SUD) providers and other medical providers.
    • Build internal capacity to engage individuals and communities at risk for or experiencing OUD/STUD.
    • Establish or further develop enhanced referral pathways to connect individuals to OUD/STUD care.
  • HEAP TX (up to $75,000, maximum 4 awards): This track is open to SUD treatment and recovery organizations only.
    • Collect and analyze equity-focused data to identify health disparities within their treatment populations. This disparity analysis will inform the design of interventions, pilots, or innovative solutions aimed at addressing the identified disparities and improving outcomes related to OUD/STUD for vulnerable populations.
    • Two tiers are available: Introductory level and Innovation level.

Applicants may not apply for both tracks. Prior HEAP awardees are eligible to apply but must clearly identify a new project and/or how the current submission does not duplicate what they were awarded for previously. Funding may not be used for direct treatment services, funding new staff, or duplicating/overlapping initiatives currently funded by other means.
