Opportunity Overview
Talbot County Government’s FY2027 Opioid Restitution Fund Community Micro Grant Program application window closed on September 11, 2026 at 3:00 PM ET. Talbot County expressly states that late submissions will not be accepted. Atlas is preserving this verified record for successor-cycle planning by local nonprofit organizations addressing opioid-related needs in Talbot County, Maryland.
Funding and Deadline
The FY2027 round offers one-time grants from $5,000 to $20,000. Funded activities must be completed using the award by June 30, 2027. Applications were due to the Talbot County Sheriff’s Office by September 11, 2026 at 3:00 PM Eastern Time. That deadline has passed, and Talbot County states that late submissions will not be accepted.
Who Can Apply
Eligible applicants are nonprofit organizations with active 501(c)(3) status and in good financial standing. Proposed projects must address opioid-related needs in Talbot County. The county’s public materials direct applicants to review the current program guidelines and application requirements before submission.
Eligible Project Focus
Talbot County identifies prevention, treatment, recovery, harm reduction and crisis response as eligible focus areas. Examples include school education campaigns to prevent opioid use, evidence-based overdose prevention and substance-use treatment, safe-station models and stabilization-center activities.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 79/100. This is a highly local, modest-dollar opportunity with a short application period but a clear nonprofit eligibility standard, direct opioid-remediation purpose and practical community impact. Strongest candidates are established Talbot County nonprofits already delivering prevention, treatment, recovery, youth education or crisis-response services and able to deploy $5,000–$20,000 by June 30, 2027.
N9+ Direct Vendor Fit: 5/100. The public program materials do not establish a telehealth, RPM, remote physical-exam or clinical-device procurement pathway. N9+ should not be positioned as a standalone equipment purchase under this micro-grant. Consider it only if a qualified applicant can independently document that a small technology component is allowable, necessary and directly tied to an eligible opioid-remediation service.
Application Readiness
Applicants should confirm active 501(c)(3) status and financial good standing, define the opioid-related need being addressed, identify the requested amount and intended beneficiaries, provide a concise scope of work and explain how success will be measured. The county lists Lori Stepp, Grants Administrator with the Talbot County Sheriff’s Office, as the program contact.
