Mini Grants for Deflection Teams

MINI-GRANT APPLICATION PROCESS IS TEMPORARILY CLOSED AT THIS TIME

Introducing the ODA Mini Grant Application, versatile funding designed to support deflection efforts. Whether it's funding for innovative projects, community engagement initiatives, or capacity-building efforts, this grant is your opportunity to make a difference.

Since the Fall of 2024, the Ohio Deflection Association (ODA) has awarded $13,000 in funding to support 13 community-based initiatives and teams through the $1,000 mini-grant program. These grants have helped strengthen local deflection efforts across the state.

ODA remains committed to identifying additional funding sources to sustain this program. However, due to the volume of recent applications, we are temporarily closing the application process.

Please check this site for updates on future funding opportunities.
