Accountability is not paperwork—it is lives saved, families stabilized, and communities made stronger, in every county across Georgia. The metrics grantees must track how compliance is verified, and how results inform future funding.

The Trust’s reporting system documents past performance, strengthens future decisions, verifies appropriate spending, and equips communities to plan requests and anticipate local needs.



Publish an annual report detailing: (1) total amounts received; (2) allocations of approved awards—recipient, award amount, program use, and disbursement terms; and (3) amounts actually disbursed.

Provide current accounting of payments into and out of the Trust and sub-accounts upon written request by the State or any Participating Local Government.

Assess effectiveness annually, evaluating how State, Local Government, and Regional investments reduce addiction, overdose deaths, and related harms.

If the State suspects a Participating Local Government used funds for a non-approved purpose, it may request supporting documentation in writing.


Expenditures: The Trust’s Programmatic Officers safeguards proper use of funds—verifying allocations and expenditures, monitoring project progress, investigating concerns, and escalating to the Trustee whenever a request falls outside settlement guidelines. Full process details may be found in the Opioid Settlement Program Charter and Georgia MOU.

This page provides a transparent accounting of non-grant expenditures – including legal settlement fees, operations, administration, compliance/audit, technology/portal support, communications, and other central costs that enable statewide grant making and oversight.

Georgia Fund 1 (GF1) is the State of Georgia’s primary investment pool—managed by the Office of the State Treasurer—for local government and state agency funds, providing a conservative, liquid, and diversified vehicle for operating cash. The Trust uses GF1 to hold operating cash and pay approved attorneys’ fees and expenses, and the Trustee has authorized OPB to access the account to process those payments.

A more detailed accounting of the Trust’s expenditures can be found in the Resources section below.
