The Illinois Department of Public Health, Tobacco-Free Communities Program has adopted a policy to disallow funding to any institution, organization, or agency that receives funding from the tobacco industry or related entitities. The following is an example of language used our RFAs:

IDPH will not award grant funds to any applicant that is in current receipt of any grant monies or in-kind contribution from any tobacco manufacturer, distributor, or tobacco-related entity. In addition, IDPH expects that a grantee will not accept any grant monies or in-kind contribution from any tobacco manufacturer, distributor, or other tobacco-related entity for the duration of the funding period.

Grantees are required to attest to the above requirement.
