Rep. Richardson Highlights New OneOhio Grant Funding to Combat Addiction and Strengthen Recovery
State Representative Tracy Richardson (R-Marysville) announced today that the OneOhio Recovery Foundation has launched a new statewide round of opioid settlement grant funding, making up to $45.7 million available to support prevention, treatment, and recovery efforts across Ohio.
Regional Grant Cycle 2 invites organizations working to address substance use disorders to prepare for the Funding Inquiry window, which opened January 14, 2026. The full Request for Proposals is available on the OneOhio Grant Headquarters webpage at OneOhioFoundation.com/Grants.
"I'm delighted to share this opportunity for help and support via the OneOhio Recovery Foundation grant funding program,” said Richardson. "These funds have the potential to make a difference for those struggling with mental health issues, drug addiction and much more and I highly encourage eligible organizations to apply."
This round advances the momentum of the first grant cycle which distributed more than $45 million to over 240 locally driven projects across Ohio. Those grants supported youth prevention, school-based mental health programs, recovery housing, treatment expansion, post-overdose outreach, and workforce initiatives in the behavioral health field.
To support applicants, the Foundation will host several webinars. Additional event details will be posted at OneOhioFoundation.com/Grants.

The Foundation works with local stakeholders to support their substance misuse prevention, treatment and recovery efforts and invest funds to support these efforts for Ohioans into the future.
