The MEADA Coalition meets on the second Wednesday of every month to review and award funding. To have your project considered at the next meeting, submit your grant request at least one week in advance. Organizations are limited to $750 in grants per calendar year (each individual school is considered its own organization, not each district). Grantees are required to submit a Grant Follow-up Form following completion of their project. Organizations are not eligible for grants in subsequent years until this is complete.

Schools requesting funding are encouraged to complete the Drug Free Communities Four Core Measures Survey and the Minnesota Student Survey. Local youth substance use data is essential to tailoring MEADA’s efforts of preventing use and building protective factors.

FUNDING REQUIREMENTS

  • Submit at least 60 days prior to needing funds
  • Ensure project addresses youth substance use awareness or prevention
  • Ensure project addresses the needs of the Wright County community
