Use the right contact for the funding source. A current program scope and itemized quote give them something concrete to review.

Title IV-A: school-managed funds

Start with your district’s Title IV-A coordinator or federal programs director.

Title IV-A’s Student Support and Academic Enrichment program includes safe and healthy student activities. Ask whether a LifeCON assembly can fit your district’s approved prevention plan and available allocation.

Your district must confirm allowable costs, program fit, applicable evidence requirements, and procurement rules before using these funds. LifeCON is not automatically approved or federally endorsed.

U.S. Department of Education: Title IV-A

Prevention coalition funds

Contact your local substance-use prevention coalition or county public health prevention team.

Ask whether the coalition can support an assembly as part of its broader youth prevention work. Some coalitions receive Drug-Free Communities funding; others use state, local, or private resources.

The coalition must confirm that the expense fits its approved action plan, grant terms, and available budget. Drug-Free Communities grants go to eligible coalitions—not automatically to an individual school or speaker.

Highway-safety grants

Start with your State Highway Safety Office or a local traffic-safety partner.

For impaired-driving and teen road-safety priorities, ask whether an approved education project could include LifeCON. NHTSA provides highway-safety grants to states; local access depends on your state’s subgrant process and eligible partners.

Confirm the eligible applicant, current application window, evidence and evaluation requirements, and approved scope before making a commitment. A general school assembly is not automatically an allowable highway-safety expense.

NHTSA: Highway Safety Grant Programs

Approach a local electric co-op, utility, business, civic group, or community foundation.

Invite a community partner to fund an agreed school-access plan. Share the school’s interest, a current LifeCON quote, and how the program fits the community’s prevention priorities. More than one partner can help cover the approved budget.

LifeCON and the school confirm the scope, costs, date, and agreement before an event is announced as funded. Sponsor recognition does not include student data access or product promotion to students.

LifeCON’s prevention education complements school supports. It is not clinical care, and no behavioral or safety outcome is guaranteed.
