The Town of Nantucket's Health and Human Services Department has released the Request for Proposals (RFP) for its FY2026 Human Services and Substance Misuse Grants. These grants aim to fund initiatives that address essential human service needs and support substance misuse prevention and intervention programs within the Nantucket community. The application process opened on October 1, 2024, and all proposals must be submitted by November 4, 2024.

Eligible applicants include non-profit organizations, community groups, and service providers who are involved in addressing these critical issues. The goal of the grants is to enhance the well-being of Nantucket residents by funding projects that offer support services, preventive measures, or interventions related to substance misuse and broader human services.

An informational session will be held on October 18, 2024, from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM at 131 Pleasant Street (or via Zoom). This session will provide guidance on the application process, answer questions, and ensure that potential applicants have the information they need to submit a complete and competitive proposal. Details about the session and the grant applications are available on the Health and Human Services webpage.

Organizations are strongly encouraged to apply and take part in this opportunity to contribute to the health and well-being of the Nantucket community.
