Youth Cannabis and Commercial Tobacco Prevention Program
The Washington State Department of Health provides funds to focus on youth cannabis and commercial tobacco prevention and education strategies. The Puyallup Tribe of Indians provides funds to focus on smoking cessation, prevention, education, awareness, and treatment. We combine these funding sources to offer this community and school funding opportunity. Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department’s Pierce County Prevention Collaborative (PC2) allocates the funds to help people and organizations in Pierce County prevent youth substance use. If we choose your proposal, your organization will join PC2. For more information about PC2 please visit its website.
Community-based agencies, schools, faith-based communities, city government agencies, and not-for-profit organizations that serve youth in Pierce County may apply. The lead agency must be a 501(c)(3) or have equivalent registration with the IRS. To expand our reach and encourage new partnerships, we will also prioritize organizations that have not received funds previously. Youth or youth groups, ages 14–25, are encouraged to apply. To receive funding, youth will need to identify a 501(c)(3) fiscal sponsor organization during or after (if notified of award) the application process.
Applications are due Friday, August 23, at 11:45 p.m. View the RFP to learn more. Questions? Email Nathan Mosley.
