The American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry directs most of its funding toward building clinical and public-health capacity to prevent and treat substance use disorders, prioritizing development of educational resources, workforce training, and practice change. It funds academic centers, professional medical societies, and intermediary organizations that train clinicians, first responders, and community coalitions, often through repeating multi-year grants. The foundation shows a strong emphasis on clinician education, implementation of evidence-based addiction care, and cross-sector collaborations with public safety and courts to expand access to treatment.
American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry Inc channels most of its grantmaking into building addiction-treatment capacity through education and training. Its largest recent award, $7.6 million to the University of Missouri - Kansas City (attc) in 2025, sits alongside a multi-year pattern of support for academic and intermediary organizations that develop educational resources for clinicians and other practitioners. The foundation’s portfolio points to a core strategy: fund the infrastructure that turns evidence-based addiction care into usable training, toolkits, and technical assistance. That approach shows up repeatedly in grants to professional and academic partners. Research Foundation for Mental Hygiene received $983,321 in 2025, while Kaufman Associates Institute (kai) received $608,839 in 2025 and $599,988 in 2024, all for developing educational resources and training. American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry Inc also backs national organizations that can distribute clinical education broadly, including the American Heart Association, Columbia University, Public Health Institute, and Community Anti-drug Coalition of America. The result is a grantmaking profile centered on workforce development, practice support, and implementation of addiction care across clinical and community settings.
A major thread in the portfolio is treatment workforce training. American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry Inc gave $500,000 to the American Heart Association in 2024 and $338,920 in 2025 for developing educational resources and training, indicating sustained support for organizations that can package clinical content for broad practitioner audiences. Another theme is addiction-focused training infrastructure. Columbia University received $493,150 in 2025 for developing educational resources and training, building on a $285,750 grant in 2023 for the same purpose. The foundation also supported Massachusetts General Hospital with $360,550 in 2025 for the same line of work, extending that pattern into academic medical settings. Community and systems-based prevention work appears as well. Community Anti-drug Coalition of America received $413,158 in 2023, $326,580 in 2025, and $297,999 in 2024, all for developing educational resources and training. That recurring support suggests an interest in organizations that translate addiction knowledge into local prevention and implementation capacity.

Concentrated but targeted: a small number of large, repeat grants account for a substantial share of giving (notably UMKC/ATTC), alongside numerous medium-sized, repeat awards to professional societies, academic research centers, and intermediaries — primarily funding training/education and program development rather than one-off direct services.
Notable grantees: University of Missouri–Kansas City / ATTC, Research Foundation for Mental Hygiene, American Osteopathic Academy of Addiction Medicine, Community Anti-Drug Coalition of America (CADCA), Police Assisted Addiction and Recovery Initiative (PAARI)
Grant size is tilted toward mid-sized awards, with a p25 of $66,380, a median of $138,132, and a p75 of $239,638. The recent grants list also shows many much larger awards to a small set of recurring partners, including a single $7.6 million grant and several awards in the hundreds of thousands. This is repeating grantmaking rather than one-off support: several recipients appear across multiple years, including University of Missouri - Kansas City (attc), Research Foundation for Mental Hygiene, Kaufman Associates Institute (kai), Columbia University, American Heart Association, Community Anti-drug Coalition of America, American Osteopathic Academy of Addiction Medicine, and National Council for Behavioral Health. The foundation is a regular funder and does not fund individuals.
Giving is national, and every grant in the country distribution goes to US recipients. By city, Kansas City, MO stands out because University of Missouri - Kansas City (attc) appears multiple times at the top of the recent grants list. Other recurring recipient cities include New York, NY; Alexandria, VA; Dallas, TX; and Washington, DC. The top state by grant count is Illinois, while only 2% of grants go to Rhode Island recipients, showing that the foundation’s funding footprint is concentrated well beyond its headquarters state.
It funds academic centers, professional medical societies, public-health intermediaries, and community coalitions. Recent recipients include the University of Missouri - Kansas City (attc), Columbia University, the American Heart Association, Public Health Institute, and Community Anti-drug Coalition of America, mostly for developing educational resources and training.
Yes. The recent grants list shows repeated support for several recipients across multiple years, including University of Missouri - Kansas City (attc), Research Foundation for Mental Hygiene, Kaufman Associates Institute (kai), American Osteopathic Academy of Addiction Medicine, and National Council for Behavioral Health.
The grant-size distribution is p25 $66,380, median $138,132, and p75 $239,638. The recent list also includes larger multi-hundred-thousand-dollar awards and one grant above $7 million, so the portfolio ranges from moderate awards to major program support.
The foundation focuses on addiction treatment workforce training, addiction-focused training centers and curriculum development, police-assisted addiction recovery and first-responder diversion programs, capacity-building for community prevention coalitions, and integration of addiction education into medical specialties and hospital systems.
