The Tobacco Trust Fund Commission is pleased to announce that grant applications are now being accepted for the 2008 grant cycle. Please note that completed applications (one original plus four copies) are to be postmarked no later than Friday, August 1, 2008. The Commission expects to announce its awards by the end of October.

The Tobacco Trust Fund Commission was created by the North Carolina General Assembly in 2000 to assist tobacco growers, former allotment holders, individuals displaced from tobacco-related employment, and persons engaged in tobacco-related businesses with economic losses resulting from the 1998 Master Settlement Agreement between the Attorneys General and the major cigarette manufacturers.
