The Union County OneOhio Local Board was created at the direction of OneOhio to distribute county funds received from the pharmaceutical industry as consequence of its role in the national opioid epidemic. UCOO will work with local interest to support their substance misuse prevention, treatment, recovery, and other abatement efforts.
The UCOO is managed by a local governance committee composed of one County Commissioner, the County Sheriff, President of County Township Association, Director of Mental Health and Recovery Board, and the City Manager of Marysville (as it is the largest municipality).
For the 2025 County Grant Cycle applications will be reviewed and recommended for funding in accordance with the Approved Purposes.
All applicants must apply using the Ohio Ohio Grant guidelines. Collaborative grants are encouraged; however, a lead organization must be identified. Multi-county projects are acceptable, but the applicant must submit an application for each county impacted by the project. Applications for statewide impact will not be considered in the 2025 grant cycle.
Successful grants will promote the health and safety of Union County by implementing evidence-based forward-looking strategies. Grant terms can be 12 months, 24 months, or up to 36 months in total (TBD). Funding proposals cannot be used to supplant existing programs or services. Successful proposals will support new or expanded programs or enhancements to existing programs.
