What it does

Tribal governments, urban Indian organizations, and Native nonprofits that lead or partner with a community coalition addressing youth substance use may apply on the coalition's behalf. The DFC Support Program has no money reserved for tribes (a ), so Native applicants compete with all other eligible applicants. Coalitions that finished their first five-year cycle or lost funding are the ones the opportunity is meant for.

Why it matters for tribal funding

Tribes eligible. Tribes or Native organizations are among those who can apply or are covered, alongside others.

Who it covers: Tribal governments, Urban Indian organizations, Native nonprofits.

: 93.276

What to do next

  1. Check whether your coalition has concluded Years 1–5 of DFC funding or had a lapse in funding, since the opportunity is limited to those coalitions.
  2. Watch for the posting, which the source estimates for 2027-01-26, and calendar the estimated application due date of 2027-03-31.
