Kansas Fights Addiction - Sunflower Foundation

KFA Grant Program

The opioid epidemic has had a devastating impact across the U.S. and in Kansas, where overdose deaths have continued to rise. In response, the Kansas Attorney General’s Office has recovered funding through legal settlements with pharmaceutical companies and distributors, holding them accountable for their role in the crisis.

In 2021, the Kansas Legislature passed the Kansas Fights Addiction (KFA) Act, allowing funds from these settlements to be used for substance use disorder (SUD) prevention, treatment, and recovery efforts statewide.

Settlement funds are divided as follows: 75% goes to the KFA Fund, administered through a grant program overseen by the KFA Grant Review Board; 25% goes to the Municipalities Fight Addiction Fund (MFAF), distributed evenly across participating counties and municipalities. An annual $200,000 is also dedicated to K-TRACS, the state’s prescription drug monitoring program.

The enacting legislation authorized the attorney general to create the 11-member KFA Grant Review Board. The board oversees the KFA grant program, which provides funding opportunities for eligible state agencies, local and county governments, nonprofit organizations, and for-profit organizations that provide services in Kansas for the purpose of preventing, reducing, treating, or otherwise abating or remediating SUDs. Sunflower Foundation serves as the administrator for the grant program.
