In 2021 and 2022, STOP’s grants supported organizations in 23 countries to identify, expose and directly counter tobacco industry efforts to undermine public health.

What are tobacco industry interference grants?

• Short-term, targeted projects around 6 months long.
• Available to organizations in any country as long as there is a targeted need or opportunity to counter the tobacco industry.
• We welcome and encourage applications from tobacco control, corporate accountability, social justice, public health, human rights, youth and environmental sectors with capabilities in investigative research, journalism, media engagement or policy advocacy.
• We will not fund government projects, lobbying activities, academic research, general education programs or activities that are solely for awareness raising.
