The mission of the Prevent Cancer Foundation® is saving lives across all populations through cancer prevention and early detection.
The grant program aims to support organizations in developing new or implementing existing community projects or programs dedicated to cancer prevention and early detection in both rural and urban areas. The grants, valued at $25,000 for one year, aim to fund vital community-level activities such as education or vaccination, or screening, with a particular focus on underserved communities. The program encourages applications that align with its mission to help prevent cancer or find it earlier, particularly projects that promise to make a positive impact in underserved communities across the United States, including tribes and territories. Specifically, for the 2022 cycle, the program is inviting applications that focus on providing cancer prevention education, outreach, and screening within LGBTQ+ communities. Projects are selected through a competitive grants cycle.
