UPDATED: Apply Now for FY26 DART Grant Funding

Dear Law Enforcement Partners:

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost is pleased to announce that applications are now being accepted for the Drug Abuse Response Team (DART) grant program, which helps address drug addictions, overdoses and deaths within Ohio communities.

The DART program supports collaborative partnerships between local law enforcement, behavioral-health treatment providers, and others to assist in the creation or continuation of a law enforcement diversion program to address opioid addiction. The grant can be used to reimburse some of the personnel costs and other expenses associated with the response team.

The application period for the FY26 grant cycle is now open, with submissions due by Friday May 30, 2025. An interactive grant application can be downloaded here.

Completed applications should be submitted via email to Mary Lynn Plageman at GrantsManagement@OhioAGO.gov.

For FY24, DART awards totaled $1.5 million and went to 25 local agencies throughout Ohio that operate quick-response teams. The grants ranged from $18,200 to $93,000 per agency.
