Truth Initiative’s Tobacco/Nicotine Free Grant is Live!

Truth Initiative is offering colleges and universities a two-year grant, up to $20,000 total, to support the adoption, implementation, and enforcement of a 100% tobacco/nicotine-free policy and promote quitting. The Truth Initiative College Grant Program empowers young adults by fostering student leadership and peer-to-peer engagement, inspiring them to raise awareness about the impact of nicotine on mental health, driving policy change and/or compliance, and supporting quitting efforts. Grant recipients will receive in-person training, educational webinars, and one-on-one consultation throughout the grant period. The application deadline is April 24, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern. STEPP encourages all Local Public Health Agencies (LPHAs) to share this grant with local universities and colleges in response to Executive Order B 2018 11 being rescinded. Please direct all questions to Vera Kuma at vkuma@truthinitiative.org. Visit Truthinitiative.org for more information, including the grant guidelines and link to the online application.
