Opioid Settlement Funds - Application and Supporting Documents

The City of Augusta has established an Opioid Settlement Grant Program to support initiatives that address the impacts of the opioid crisis in our community.

On November 21, 2024, the Augusta City Council adopted an Opioid Settlement Money Allocation Policy (Council Order 24-179), outlining how funds received through national opioid-related legal settlements will be distributed. As part of this effort, the City has allocated $400,000 to fund grant opportunities aligned with the priorities identified in the Policy.

This webpage serves as a central resource for applicants, providing access to the grant application, program guidelines, and supporting documents.


An adhoc review committee, formed in accordance with the Policy, will evaluate all submitted applications, score proposals based on established criteria, and make funding recommendations to the City Council. The process is designed to be transparent, fair, and equitable, ensuring funds are distributed in a way that best supports prevention, treatment, recovery, and harm reduction efforts within the community.

Applicants are encouraged to review all materials carefully prior to submission. For questions, please contact Stephanie-Ann Sienkiewicz at stephanie.sienkiewicz@augustamaine.gov.
