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:

1. "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.
   
2. "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.
   
3. "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.
   
4. "Community Voices Initiative: Promoting Systems Change in Community Driven Tobacco Control"
   
   This May 2008 publication examines how Legacy’s Community Voices grantees created systems-level changes to provide tobacco cessation and prevention services primarily to disadvantaged communities.  The publication features four Community Voices sites as case examples to demonstrate how organizations could affect systems change at various levels to successfully achieve tobacco control outcomes in traditionally underserved communities.
   
5. "Sustainability Beyond Dollars:  Organizations Achieving Long-Term Success in Community-Based Tobacco Control"
   
   This October 2008 report broadens the discussion on sustainability beyond funding. It examines how a host of other factors besides financial resources affect sustainability of a tobacco control program.  It features five of Legacy’s past grantees as case examples that demonstrate how organizations can improve the chances of continuing an effective tobacco control program by taking a broad and planned approach to sustainability.
