Paso del Norte Smoke-Free Initiative Funding

The Paso del Norte Health Foundation will award grants to support tobacco-control programs targeting adolescents in El Paso and Hudspeth Counties in West Texas, Doña Ana and Otero Counties in Southern New Mexico, and in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico.

There are no set limits on grant amounts under the Smoke Free Paso del Norte Initiative (SFI), and groups can submit applications focusing on one or more tobacco-control objectives. However, the foundation is especially interested in projects to strengthen compliance with tobacco-control policies.

Nonprofits, governments and others may apply; priority will go to groups that have a history of success in running tobacco-control programs.

Application deadline is Jan. 27. For more information, see the foundation's website.
