About Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids
Campaign for Tobacco-free Kids centers its grantmaking on tobacco control, with recent awards also extending into global health and a smaller line of research tied to opioid use disorder in jail settings. The largest recent grant in the record is $896,329 to Earthrights International Inc. for a global health grant, followed by additional global health support to the same group in prior years. That pattern points to a funder willing to make multi-year commitments when a project matches its policy and public-health goals. The foundation also backs organizations working on tobacco policy and prevention across a mix of national advocacy and community-based groups. Recent tobacco control grants include support for Black Women's Health Imperative, Lulac Institute Inc, and Parents Against Vaping E-cigarettes, showing attention to both public-health advocacy and youth prevention. Its portfolio includes organizations serving Black, Latino, LGBTQ, and aging communities, alongside state health officials and youth-focused groups. Grantmaking is programmatic and issue-specific rather than broad, with a clear emphasis on evidence-based policy, research, and public support for tobacco control.
What Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids Funds
Tobacco control is the clearest thread in the portfolio. In 2025, the foundation gave $62,500 to NAACP Empowering and $37,500 to National LGBT Cancer Network, both tagged as tobacco control grants, indicating support for community-facing public health work tied to tobacco-related harm. Youth prevention is another recurring lane. Parents Against Vaping E-cigarettes received $43,047 in 2024, and National PTA received $15,000 in 2025, both under tobacco control. The foundation also funded Save a Girl Save a World with $50,000 in 2025 and The Center for Black Health and Equity with $28,125 in 2025, showing attention to prevention work in specific communities. Its topic taxonomy also includes opioid use disorder research in criminal justice settings. A 2025 grant of $42,367 to Viaduct Consulting LLC was labeled research on the national crisis of opioid use for people in jail or jail with opioid use disorders (OUD).
