Building Long-Term Support for Alcohol and Other Drug Prevention Programs

Section 1, "Building a Program for Long-Term Survival," explains why early planning should focus on collaboration within the college community, strong commitment from top school administrators, an established long-range plan, objectives tied to the college's mission, networking outside the college community, a system of program accountability, and the strategic use of public relations. Section 2, "Identifying Alternative Sources of Funding," discusses several components of successful grant-writing: developing a clear program concept, thinking like a marketer, working in partnership with the college development office, state and federal sources of prevention funding, and locating sources of information and assistance.
