Tobacco Prevention Planning, Outreach, Education, Storytelling and Advocacy Service

The Minnesota Department of Health seeks proposals for community change grants to prevent commercial tobacco use among young people. The scope includes tobacco prevention planning, outreach, education, storytelling, and advocacy services designed to build youth leadership, advance local commercial tobacco policy change, and establish tobacco-free spaces. Implementation takes place onsite within the United States. Applicants must submit questions via the online form by October 30, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. Central Time, and non-binding Notices of Intent are strongly encouraged. Final application packages must be submitted through the online application form on the RFP webpage by November 13, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. Central Time. Submissions must include responses to application questions, a work plan, a budget, a Due Diligence Review Form, and a Conflict of Interest Disclosure. If the proposed project involves a Tribal Government or Tribal community, the applicant must provide written verification of Tribal approval before a grant award is offered. A review team will evaluate eligible applications using scoring criteria, and the department will make final funding decisions. The project contract term is one year.
