RESPONSE GUIDELINES

Read the initial posts of the other learners and respond to two. In each response, ask clarifying questions or provide suggestions for improving the sustainability plan.

Student post down below:

A sustainability plan explains to a funder or other interested stakeholder how the program will support itself in the future without funding from the initial funder source (Coley & Scheinberg, 2017). A sustainability plan does not necessarily require the program or project to become financially independent. However, there should be information included in the plan as to how the program or project will either support itself financially or obtain additional funding from other sources. Coley & Scheinberg (2017) indicate that funders prefer to fund projects that will not end when the funds end.

While Pioneer Human Services will benefit greatly from the initial funding from the Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) grant from SAMHSA, the MAT program will continue in the expanded area long after funding from this particular funder is no longer available. One of the main ways in which Pioneer Human Services will sustain this program in the future is by implementing a fee for service. This will be accomplished by providing clients with a sliding scale according to client income in order to make treatment affordable. Insurance payments will also be accepted for those clients seeking MAT to contribute to the fee for service portion of the funding. Coley & Scheinberg (2017) list fees for service as one of the main questions for an organization to ask when attempting to determine sustainability.

In addition, Pioneer Human Services is aware that there are other options for grant funding beyond the MAT grant from SAMHSA. One such grant is the Cooperative Agreement with a USA IHE, For-Profit, or Nonprofit to Support Substance Abuse Reduction Programs found on www.washington.grantwatch.com. There are also other grants available from SAMHSA that can be utilized to provide future financial support for the MAT program at Pioneer Human Services in the expanded area. Furthermore, Pioneer Human Services currently partners with local medical establishments to obtain additional funding to support the many programs offered by the organization. The expanded MAT program will also seek to create these partnerships in its geographical area in order to provide future funding opportunities in order to sustain the program. These methods are similar to how Coley & Scheinberg (2017) explained that programs or projects can attempt to seek future funding from other sources.
