River Branch Endowment for Drug Addiction and Substance Abuse Prevention, Research and Education

The River Branch Foundation of Jacksonville, FL established this fund in 1996 in the Department of Psychiatry to support research in substance abuse prevention.

For more than 40 years, the River Branch Foundation has been actively working to improve the quality of life in the northeast Florida area. The foundation’s interests have included social and educational programs for the disadvantaged, especially but not exclusively those which benefit women and children, diverse arts and cultural organizations, and ecology and environmental issues. Over the past ten years, the foundation’s interest in environmental causes has increased, particularly in the area of land acquisition for preservation.
