2025 One Nevada Community Grant

Douglas County, NV – Douglas County is pleased to announce that applications for the Calendar Year (CY) 2025 One Nevada Community Grant are now being accepted. Non-profit organizations that provide significant benefits to Douglas County residents are encouraged to apply.

What are One Nevada Community Grants?

The One Nevada Community Grant program allows the Board of County Commissioners to award grants to non-profit community organizations that serve religious, charitable, or educational purposes, or to government entities. The funding, governed by Nevada law (NRS 244.1505), is intended to provide substantial benefits to county residents. Grants must be awarded by resolution of the Board of County Commissioners.

The One Nevada Community Grant funding is made available through litigation related to the opioid epidemic in the State of Nevada. These funds are designated to support efforts that remediate the impacts and risks caused by the opioid crisis, in line with Senate Bill 390 requirements. Importantly, One Nevada funds cannot be used to replace existing funding streams available to state, local, regional, or tribal entities.

Eligible grant projects must align with one or more of the following focus areas:

• Case management for individuals affected by substance use disorders

• Early intervention for children affected by ACEs
• Infectious disease prevention and treatment in individuals with substance use disorders
• Behavioral health crisis services
• Housing for individuals in recovery from substance use disorders
