The Florida Breast Cancer Foundation (FBCF) aims to improve the lives of those facing breast cancer in the Florida community. It is dedicated to supporting innovative education and research with the goal of eradicating breast cancer. FBCF emphasizes the importance of collaborative research as a means to make significant advancements in breast cancer treatment and understanding, aspiring to change the breast cancer landscape through funding impactful research projects.
The FBCF grants program supports Florida organizations with funding for innovative education projects on breast cancer. These grants, ranging up to $5,000 for single-county projects and $10,000 for multi-county efforts, aim to maximize outreach through one-on-one, small group, or virtual settings. Projects should span at least 12 months, include a minimum of two educational sessions, and preferably integrate support resources such as mammograms, diagnostic tests, medical treatments, financial and emotional support, transportation, home care, child care, nutrition guidance, complementary therapies, prostheses, and breast cancer navigation services. Priority areas for 2025 include education on proactive breast health advocacy, support for breast cancer survivors and their transition to survivorship, breast health education targeting youth, and efforts to decrease late-stage breast cancer diagnoses.
