Grants available for drug prevention

Tuesday, June 15, 2004 | 8:21 a.m.

The BEST Coalition is accepting grant requests for programs that deal with drug prevention programs focused on the availability of drugs or family management problems.

Nonprofit groups can apply for the state incentive grants with $340,000 per year for the next three years to run the programs in Clark County. Applicants must attend a bidders' conference 9 a.m. to noon Wednesday at 1660 E. Flamingo Road.

Applications will be judged on a competitive basis. Fifty percent of funding will go to model programs, 25 percent will go to effective or promising programs, and 25 percent will go to new or existing substance abuse prevention programs.
