The foundation does not encourage applications on treatment of the complications of advanced alcoholism. However, research involving treatment intended to elucidate the pathogenesis of alcohol-related problems will be considered. Grants will be made to academic and research institutions in the U.S. and Canada, but not to individuals. The campaign, which is designed to leverage federal funding by requesting a pro bono match of media time, will target children ages 9-18 as well as the adults who influence them. The majority of those donations must be met with public service time or space.
Applications are available online.
