(May 8, 2026) – Two new funding opportunities through the
Kansas Fights Addiction grant program became available on May 4. One expands medications for opioid use disorder and another provides rapid-response funding for urgent needs and time-sensitive opportunities benefiting substance use disorder systems. The KFA Board allocated $5 million for the MOUD funding and $3 million for responsive grantmaking for calendar year 2026. KFA funding comes from money recovered by the Kansas Attorney General's Office through opioid legal settlements. Eligible organizations interested in the MOUD expansion opportunity can apply for up to $500,000 in funding per year, for up to two years. Organizations are encouraged to submit a
confirmation of intent to apply. The deadline to submit grant applications is
5 p.m. June 5, 2026. The KFA Board anticipates the Responsive Grant Program will be an ongoing, open funding opportunity in which they will review applications and select awards on a quarterly basis, with associated deadlines to be considered at each quarterly review and selection meeting.
