Tips for Securing Funding

1. Start with the right fit.
   Look for funding that aligns with the issue your program addresses, such as impaired driving, substance misuse prevention, youth education, opioid prevention, or traffic safety.
2. Make your request specific.
   Explain what you want to purchase, the issue your program will address, who you plan to reach, how the products will be used, and the expected impact. Whenever possible, include measurable details such as the number of participants or events you expect to reach.
3. Confirm allowable expenses.
   Before applying, verify that the funding source allows educational equipment, prevention materials, or other expenses associated with the Fatal Vision® products you intend to purchase.
4. Show community impact.
   Explain where and how often you’ll use the program, the audiences you expect to reach, and any schools, agencies, coalitions, or community organizations that will participate.
5. Don’t rely on one source.
   Explore multiple opportunities. Federal and state grants, local foundations, businesses, civic organizations, community partners, and agency funding may all provide potential paths to funding your program.
