NCPA is launching our new State Advocacy Grant Program, an initiative offering funding and support to state-based pharmacy organizations working to strengthen independent community and long-term care pharmacy. Grant funds may support project-specific expenses such as government affairs consultants, public relations campaigns, economic impact studies, cost-of-dispense surveys, legislative events, educational meetings, and dedicated advocacy staff.
Those eligible to apply include state pharmacy associations, independent pharmacy associations, and other incorporated pharmacy advocacy organizations aligned with NCPA advocacy priorities such as commercial payment reform, PBM-pharmacy ownership laws, audit reform legislation, state cost-of-dispensing surveys, and state-based funding programs for eligible pharmacies. Priority consideration will be given to projects with measurable objectives, a demonstrated legislative or regulatory opportunity, and a well-defined strategy for success.
