MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WDNews) – The Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) is accepting proposals from qualified organizations to help prevent youth nicotine use and reduce exposure to secondhand smoke.
The program aims to create community environments that protect elementary, middle, and high school students, educate them about the tobacco industry’s marketing tactics, and promote cessation resources.
ADPH plans to award up to nine grants ranging from $30,000 to $75,000, with payments made monthly on a reimbursement basis after services are completed. Eligible applicants include governmental agencies and nonprofit organizations with experience in policy development, advocacy, community education, and mobilization.
Proposals are due by Sept. 5, 2025. Full details and the request for proposals (RFP) are available on ADPH’s Tobacco website.
