Webinar: Strategic financing for prevention programs

Substance misuse prevention efforts are often under-funded and under-resourced. Prevention practitioners are often forced to stretch limited resources and implement programs with extremely tight budgets. Additionally, prevention practitioners may find themselves continually advocating for prevention in order to maintain existing funding and/or avert additional budget cuts. This webinar will discuss the current federal funding trends and funding landscape related to substance misuse prevention. Participants will be able to identify potential partners and champions to engage in their local community who have the power to influence the allocation of resources supporting prevention programs. The webinar will discuss the five key steps in strategic finance planning and will highlight specific tools to support finance planning in their sites.
