Closing Remarks
 
 
Drug Free Communities Support Program Overview
The DFC Program was started as a result of the passage of the Drug Free Communities Act of 1997.  Since its inception, the program has funded more than 1,600 community coalitions addressing youth substance use.  If you are member of a community coalition and want to learn more about the DFC Program, click the link on the right for a short video that will provide you with an overview of DFC and what it provides to communities in the US and its Territories.
 
Statutory Eligibility Requirements
Coalitions that are interested in applying for the DFC grant must meet the statutory eligibility requirements outlined in the Drug Free Communities Act of 1997.  Failure to meet even a single requirement will make an application ineligible and it will not proceed to Peer Review for scoring.  We encourage coalitions that are thinking that DFC may be the right funding stream for them to begin working toward meeting the statutory eligibility requirements TODAY! Click the link on the right to view a short video on the DFC statutory eligibility requirements.
 
Strategic Prevention Framework
Coalitions that receive DFC funding must use the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF).  The SPF is a community planning model that allows for all DFC coalitions to speak a common language and engage in a common process for forward progression.  Previous DFC Request for Applications (RFA) have been based on the SPF, so if your coalition is thinking about applying for the DFC grant in the future, learning about the SPF will help you in successfully completing your application. Click the link on the right for a short video on the SPF.
