Funding Tips & Trends 

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) has awarded 25 grants totaling $2.2 million for nationwide tobacco-prevention and cessation initiatives under its Tobacco Policy Change program.

Grants will fund local, regional, and national organizations pursuing policy change to increase local or state tobacco taxes, comprehensive clean indoor air laws, public funding for prevention and cessation programs, restrictions on advertising and product placement, as well as other initiatives.

Award values range from $50,000 to $100,000. This round is the first under the foundation's Tobacco Policy Change program, which looks to award $12 million over the next three years.
