“Community-based organizations are uniquely positioned to identify and respond to local needs, yet they often face barriers to securing the flexible funding they need to strengthen operations and sustain programming,” said Dr. Karen Scott, President of FORE. “By supporting their capacity, we help ensure communities have access to effective prevention, treatment, harm reduction, and recovery services tailored to their needs.”
Since 2023, FORE has supported 22 community-based organizations through capacity-building grants and remains committed to advancing community-driven, evidence-based solutions to the opioid crisis.
