Bellevue is on the lookout for an organization with a specific mission: to educate and prevent opioid misuse, especially among non-English-speaking communities. With funding up to $10,000 in 2026 and a possible extension for four more years, the chosen provider will be expected to deliver services tailored to cultural and linguistic needs. Applications are open until 2 p.m., November 19.
As reported by bellevuewa.gov, the brief is clear: education, prevention, and resource connection should be cost-free and accessible to all age groups, from youngsters to adults. Given by companies held accountable for their role in the opioid crisis, these funds stem from settlement dollars, seeking to undo some of the harm festering within the fabric of communities across the state.
Interested organizations can find the necessary documents and details on the Human Services Funding page. A significant emphasis is on bridging gaps between crisis responders and community-based groups dedicated to thwarting opioid misuse.
Indeed, this initiative is part of a broader response, fueled by settlement monies from several companies within the opioid industry, as outlined by the official announcement.
