Apply Now: Municipal matching grants for opioid response efforts
The Mosaic Opioid Recovery Partnership (Mosaic) Municipal Matching Grant program will fund projects and initiatives in cities and towns that align with the Massachusetts State Sub-Division Agreement for Statewide Opioid Settlements. This program offers a unique opportunity to bolster cities’ and towns’ capacity to address the overdose crisis through non-punitive, health-centered approaches to the overdose crisis.
About Mosaic Opioid Recovery Partnership
Mosaic Opioid Recovery Partnership (Mosaic), funded by the MA Department of Public Health, Bureau of Substance Addiction Services and powered by RIZE Massachusetts Foundation (RIZE), is a partnership like no other. It is a unique, public-private collaboration designed to fund initiatives that are addressing the opioid overdose crisis in communities that have been historically underserved and have experienced a high rate of opioid-related overdose deaths. Just like a mosaic is made up of individual materials to create a complete picture, this partnership brings together the best ideas and initiatives across the Commonwealth to create a comprehensive response to the opioid overdose crisis.
The funding for Mosaic comes from the Massachusetts Opioid Recovery and Remediation Fund (ORRF), which resulted from the historic legal effort to demand justice from several private companies for the harms caused by the opioid epidemic. This is one of the first public-private partnerships of this magnitude using settlement funds for community-led initiatives.
Grantmaking
Powered by RIZE in conjunction with the Commonwealth and guided by people with lived and living experience, Mosaic is creating a pathway for community-led initiatives that may not have been eligible for grant funding in the past to access settlement funds. This ensures the dollars are invested and remain in the communities most impacted by the opioid crisis.
Who We Support
Mosaic’s grant programs fund community-led initiatives that use ideas with promise to address the opioid overdose crisis. We are committed to ensuring that the dollars are invested and remain in the communities most deeply impacted by the crisis and in organizations that center the voices of people with lived and living experience.
