Legacy’s past grantmaking and technical assistance/training efforts have resulted in knowledge about a broad range of tobacco control issues and emerging strategies and interventions. To share this information with other organizations involved in tobacco control and public health, we've published a series of reports and profiles about our experiences. They highlight key lessons learned from a wide range of community-based tobacco control projects that our partners and past grantees have implemented.
