In 1998, CLEAN, Inc. was chosen from nearly 500 applicants as one of 93 coalitions to receive a Drug-Free Community Grant.  This $100,000 grant through the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy was renewed for an additional two years, ending in September 2005. 

In 2005, this grant has been renewed for another three years, ending September 2008.

CLEAN utilizes these funds to help sustain and expand substance abuse prevention activities in our community.

The DFC grant programming focuses on the following areas:

• To become the central organization in the Northern Shenandoah Valley for substance abuse prevention, including related research, program design and development, coordination of service delivery, and evaluation
