The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board is now taking applications for grants to fund programs that discourage and reduce underage and dangerous drinking and promote a message of responsible alcohol consumption by those of legal drinking age.

Eligible applicants for the Reducing Underage and Dangerous Drinking grants include Pennsylvania school districts and institutions of higher education (including technical, trade and postsecondary establishments), community organizations, municipal police departments, municipal officials/representatives, and nonprofit and for-profit organizations.

The deadline to apply for grants is 5 p.m. March 20. The grant application link and guidelines for submission are available on the grants page of the PLCB website.

The grant cycle is for two years, from July 2026 through June 2028. Grants will be awarded on a competitive basis with a maximum award of $25,000 per year and cumulative award of no more than $50,000 per two-year grant cycle, per eligible applicant. Applications will be evaluated by the PLCB’s Bureau of Alcohol Education, with awards made subject to availability of funds.

Grant applications are limited to one per organization, school, municipality or institution of higher education.
