DFSP Grant Program
Limited start-up grants are available to offset the costs involved in implementing a compliant DFSP in your workplace. Ohio state-fund private or public employers, participating in the DFSP, may apply for start-up grant money from BWC within their first two years of DFSP participation. These reimbursements do not cover the program's full costs and are available on a first come, first served basis while funding is available.
Employers eligible for DFSP start-up grants must either be in their first or second year of DFSP partici-pation at the Basic or Advanced level, without a gap in participation. If an employer does not participate in DFSP in the program year following its initial year, the employer is not eligible for a second year of grant reimbursement.
Employers participating in a comparable drug-free program (not DFSP) may bid on or work state construction projects. However, they are not eligible for DFSP start-up grant funds.
