Cannabis education and awareness fund

The Cannabis Education and Awareness Fund (CEAF) in New Brunswick provides grants to support educational programs, research, and policy initiatives that help New Brunswickers make responsible, informed choices about cannabis.
  • Government of New Brunswick
Overview of the Cannabis education and awareness fund program:

Supported by a portion of the provincial cannabis sales revenue, the CEAF funds projects that focus on cannabis education, harm reduction, and community awareness. Eligible projects may include public education campaigns, school programs, youth-focused initiatives, and research studies on cannabis effects. Key priorities include reducing health risks associated with cannabis, promoting responsible use, and empowering stakeholders with tools and information tailored to specific demographics, such as young adults and vulnerable communities. An Advisory Committee reviews applications and recommends funding allocations to initiatives that align with New Brunswick’s educational goals on cannabis.

Benefits of the Cannabis education and awareness fund program:
  • Funded projects provide educational resources, targeted awareness campaigns, and data-driven insights that help New Brunswickers:
  • Make responsible choices about cannabis use.
  • Reduce potential health risks through informed decision-making.
  • Access community-specific information, especially for youth, pregnant individuals, and other vulnerable groups.
  • Support research that contributes to an evidence-based understanding of cannabis use in New Brunswick.
Eligibility criteria of the Cannabis education and awareness fund program:
  • Eligible applicants must:
  • Align with the Cannabis Education and Awareness Fund Act.
  • Have a New Brunswick-specific focus (e.g., serving New Brunswick residents or based in New Brunswick).
