Fulton County is now accepting proposals from organizations committed to saving lives through education and prevention of opioid use disorders.
Fulton County’s request for proposals for Prevention, Response Education and Priority Action for Recovery & Engagement (PREPARE) program, was released on July 6, 2026.
Proposals are due on August 12, 2026. A virtual information session will be held on July 22, 2026 at 2 p.m. Interested organizations should register and apply through BidNet Direct.
Proposals will be evaluated by the Fulton County Regional Advisory Council, on behalf of the Fulton County Board of Commissioners and under the guidance of the Georgia Opioid Abatement Trust. Fulton County is a Qualified Block Grant recipient for opioid abatement funds.
Funded organizations will provide prevention and education for Fulton County residents at risk for or living with Opioid Use Disorder, including people with a co-occurring mental illness, and people with additional substance use disorders.
Successful grantees will utilize a holistic, barrier-free approach to increase prevention and education support for individuals and families at risk for Opioid Use Disorder, and to support people in their recovery journeys with opportunities including education and employment.
