Dissemination
Disseminating what is learned from various grant-making initiatives is one way the Foundation is building a world where young people reject tobacco and anyone can quit.
Since 2000, grants have been awarded to community-based organizations, public agencies, institutions of higher education, and Native American tribes across the country.
Funds have helped to develop technical assistance and training resources, community partnerships, youth activism, and counter-marketing and grassroots marketing campaigns.
Publications of findings and highlights of replicable, sustainable projects include:
- "Listening to the Frontline in Cessation: Voices of Legacy Grantees"
This January 2007 report highlights the Foundation’s commitment to supporting cessation and illustrates how organizations funded by Legacy are helping to change the landscape of public health education through cessation work.
- "Priority Populations Initiative: Breaking New Ground and Building Capacity in Cultural Tailoring"
"Iniciativa de Poblaciones de Priordad: Abriendo Nuevos Caminos y Desarrollando Capacidad en Adaptacion Cultural"
Also available in Spanish, this March 2007 publication focuses on working effectively with the rainbow of cultures found in the U.S.
- "Youth Empowerment: The Future of Tobacco Control in Action"
"Poder Juvenil: El Futuro de Control de Tabaco en Accion"
This May 2007 publication tells the history of Legacy’s Youth Empowerment Program, in which 18 state departments of health, working with Legacy grants, developed initiatives based on the concept that encouraging young people to take leadership in tobacco control activities would give a powerful boost to youth outreach.
