To assist registered Say What! groups in their tobacco prevention efforts, Say What! provides Mini-Grant Kits completely free of charge! These “projects-in-a-box” include well-designed, tobacco prevention-focused materials that also connect each group’s local efforts to the broader statewide Say What! initiative.
The project must be youth-led, though youth must be working with at least one adult partner. Each Mini-Grant Kit may be used for any upcoming Say What! project that occurs between October 1st and July 31st each year. Read about the types of Mini-Grant Kits available, and scroll down further to see which kits are currently in stock!

Tobacco products aren’t only dangerous for people, but the environment and wildlife, too. Littered tobacco products like cigarette butts, vapes, and dip cans are some of the most littered items that are poisoning our planet.
This kit features a tobacco litter log to track all the cleanup’s your group hosts, what was collected, and how much. Afterwards, your group can use that information to speak with local business owners or decision makers to promote tobacco and vape-free businesses and parks. This kit also features a vape waste container that a school or community-based organization can use to store collected vapes found on the property until they can be safely disposed of.
Request this kit today to help make your school or community a safer, cleaner place for everyone.
