What is a Mini-Grant?
ReACT mini-grants are funds offered to Montana students 12-18 years old to promote tobacco advocacy, education, and prevention at the community level.
Currently, ReACT offers two topic choices for applicants to select from:
- Days of Action Community Involvement
- Tobacco-Free Community Events
Youth provide leadership and collaborate with an adult advisor in their local areas. Applicants may request up to $3,000. The grants are competitive, so make yours awesome!
