The Idaho State Liquor Division (ISLD) is awarded funding to support projects that strengthen alcohol education and prevention efforts throughout Idaho through the National Alcohol Beverage Control Association (NABCA). NABCA recognizes the important role that control state agencies play in preventing alcohol misuse through education, community partnerships, and public awareness.
The ISLD Prevention & Education Mini Grant Program provides competitive grant funding to organizations that develop, enhance, or expand programs focused on reducing alcohol misuse, preventing underage drinking, and promoting healthier, safer communities.
Eligible applicants include:
Projects should demonstrate measurable community impact, align with ISLD’s prevention and education mission, and support evidence-based or promising prevention strategies.
The ISLD Prevention & Education Mini Grant Program supports projects that educate Idaho communities, prevent underage and high-risk alcohol use, encourage responsible decision-making, and strengthen community partnerships through effective prevention and education initiatives.
Up to $50,000 in grant funding is available through a competitive application process. Individual award amounts will vary based on project scope, community impact, available funding, and review committee recommendations.

Standard Funding Method
Beginning with the 2027 grant cycle, grant awards will generally be distributed on a reimbursement basis.
Grant recipients will submit a Grant Closeout & Reimbursement Request Form along with supporting documentation for eligible project expenses. Reimbursements will be issued for approved expenses up to the awarded grant amount.
Supporting documentation may include:
Only approved project expenses are eligible for reimbursement.
ISLD recognizes that some organizations may not have sufficient financial resources to pay project expenses upfront.
Applicants may request advance funding within the application by describing the financial need and explaining why reimbursement would create a hardship or prevent successful implementation of the project. Advance funding requests are not guaranteed and will be evaluated during the grant review process based on project needs, organizational capacity, and available funding.
Organizations receiving advance funding will still be required to submit the Grant Closeout & Reimbursement Request Form along with documentation showing how grant funds were spent.
