Background on the State Legislation Authorizing Community Grants Program
Section 17(I) of the Tobacco Settlement Proceeds Act states if the deposits into the Arkansas Tobacco Settlement Commission (ATSC) fund exceed the amount necessary to pay the costs and expenses described in Sub-section (h) of this Section, then the ATSC is authorized to make grants based on the following principles: improving and optimizing the health of Arkansans, long-term projects that improve the health of Arkansans, tobacco-related illness and health care costs should be minimized through this opportunity, and invested in solutions that work effectively and efficiently in Arkansas.

The Arkansas Tobacco Settlement Community Grants Program uses funds made available by the Arkansas Tobacco Settlement Proceeds Act through the Master Tobacco Settlement Agreement for the purpose of funding new innovative or existing programs and/or non-profit organizations that may ultimately improve health or provide better access to Arkansans throughout the State of Arkansas.

ATSC Community Health Grant Program grant cycles run with the fiscal year of state government. The state’s 2009 fiscal year begins July 1, 2008. Therefore, applications are now being taken for grants that will begin on July 1, 2008 and continue until June 30, 2009.
