Grants
As part of the Bloomberg Initiative to Reduce Tobacco Use, the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids manages a grants program in conjunction with the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (the Union).
The grants program supports projects in low and middle-income countries to achieve policy change that will lead to substantial reductions in tobacco use. It gives priority to countries with the greatest number of tobacco users.
Proposals must focus on achieving policy change that will lead to substantial reductions in tobacco use. The grants program gives priority to projects that lead to sustainable improvements in tobacco control laws, regulations, policies and programs at the national or sub-national level (e.g. provinces, states), including (but not restricted to):
- tax and price measures, including anti-smuggling measures
- establishment of smoke-free workplaces and public places
- direct and indirect advertising bans
- other evidence-based regulatory/legislative initiatives
