Our Funding

Drug Free Communities (DFC) Program

The Drug-Free Communities (DFC) program has been a central, bi-partisan component of our nation’s demand reduction strategy since its passage in 1998. The consistent and steady growth of the program from $10 million in 1998 to $100 million in 2019 and the number of grantees (from 92 original grantees to more than 2,000 grantees) is a testament to the program’s popularity. The premise of the DFC program is simple – that communities around the country must be organized and equipped to deal with their individual substance misuse problems in a comprehensive and coordinated manner.

Cannabis, Tobacco, and Vaping Prevention Community Grants

The Cannabis, Tobacco, and Vapor Prevention Program (CTV) at Public Health—Seattle & King County (PHSKC) works with communities, partners, and priority populations to prevent and reduce commercial tobacco, vapor, and cannabis (marijuana) use among King County youth (ages 12-20).
These grants are funded with funds from cannabis excise tax revenue from King County and from the State Department of Health Youth Commercial Tobacco and Cannabis Prevention Program through the Dedicated Cannabis Account.
