OJJDP FY 2026 Opioid Affected Youth Initiative

Office of Juvenile Justice Delinquency Prevention·Government

This grant supports states, localities, Tribal jurisdictions, and nonprofit organizations to address violent crime and reduce overdose deaths through prevention, intervention, and treatment strategies. It focuses on children, youth, and families affected by opioid, stimulant, and other substance use disorders, including those at risk for or already in child welfare or justice systems. Applicants are expected to collaborate with justice, school, mental health, child welfare, and community partners to improve outcomes for affected youth and families.

Go / No-Go Memo

This opportunity looks relevant, but the strongest path is likely through a partner or consortium.

Partner

The opportunity is relevant because it funds prevention, intervention, and treatment for youth and families affected by substance use disorders, which can align with community-based health and psychosocial support work. However, it is a U.S. justice-sector grant restricted to U.S. state/local/tribal and nonprofit applicants, so IFRC and National Society participation would likely be peripheral and indirect.

Strategic fit

strong

Government is the strongest profile match at 90/100; relevance is 35/100.

Eligibility risk

strong

Eligible applicant types include Government, NGO.

Deadline feasibility

moderate

The call closes in 6 days, so proposal capacity is the main constraint.

Funding attractiveness

strong

The tracked ceiling is $8.9M across 12 awards.

Partnership need

moderate

This may be stronger with a Government lead or co-applicant based on fit scores.

Impact Aid Discretionary Construction Grant Program - 84.041C

Office of Elementary and Secondary Education

This grant program provides funding to eligible Impact Aid local educational agencies, specifically independent school districts, to address emergency and modernization needs in school facilities. The competition is limited to emergency grants meeting the stated priority and requirements. The expected outcome is improved school infrastructure in federally connected communities through urgent construction-related support.

This is a U.S. school construction grant limited to independent school districts, so there is no realistic direct role for IFRC or National Societies. The source is sufficient to identify the funding purpose, but the applicant restriction and domestic scope make it largely irrelevant for the Movement.

National Leadership Grants for Libraries (2027) fund projects that improve library services nationwide.

The expected outcome is stronger, more effective library and information services for the public.

The opportunity is U.S.-focused and centered on library services, with only a limited and indirect link to emergency services and literacy. Eligibility is not clearly open to IFRC or National Societies, and the source information is insufficient to indicate a realistic Movement participation pathway.
