PPW Drug Prevention & Wellness Grant Matching Program

To celebrate our 20-year anniversary, Prevention Plus Wellness (PPW) is providing dollar-for-dollar matching grant support for PPW programs, materials and training included in a grant application.

This doubles your prevention and wellness purchasing power, reach and sustainability.

Since many grants require matching funds, this offer will help you get funded!

The PPW Grant Matching Program allows you and your organization to provide PPW programs targeting diverse and multiple age groups, substances and strategies across your region at half the cost.

For example, write into your DFC or other prevention or health grant $1,999 for the purchase of an Unlimited PPW Program & Training License and we'll match that with an additional $1,999 so you can choose a second Unlimited PPW Program & Training License or other program materials so you can target a different age group, drug type or strategy.

The only requirement is you include funding in each year of your grant to continue to fund at least one Unlimited PPW Program & Training License to provide programs and training throughout your funding period, and even beyond.

For every dollar you request for PPW purchases in your grant application budget, simply show an equal amount of any PPW programs and training as a no cost match from PPW.
