Grants for Culturally Competent Cancer Prevention Programs in Virginia in Virginia (USA)
GrantID: 73976
Grant Funding Amount Low: $10,000
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $10,000
Summary
This program offers modest grant awards—up to $10,000 each—to nonprofit groups, municipal agencies, academic entities, faith‑based or community organizations, and hospitals located across Virginia and portions of eastern West Virginia. Annually, up to four grants are awarded for one‑year initiatives, fueled by a total pool of approximately $40,000.
The objective is to empower community‑led efforts that address cancer prevention, screening, early‑detection, risk reduction, and survivorship support. Funding is intended for new initiatives or fresh program components—not ongoing or routine services . Projects are encouraged to align with identified health disparities, evidence‑based practices, and regional priorities.
Eligible entities include 501(c)(3) nonprofits, local governments, community groups, academic institutions, faith‑based organizations, neighborhood associations, safety‑net hospitals, and other similarly mission‑focused partners serving the regional population. Each organization is limited to one application per cycle.
The grant seeks projects that genuinely reflect local community needs—such as increasing equitable access to screening, fostering culturally responsive outreach, reducing isolation among patients, or educating residents about cancer risks and survivorship. By deliberately investing in grassroots efforts, the program aims to reduce cancer‑related disparities and enhance community health outcomes through small but targeted resource support.
In essence, this grant is tailored for mission‑driven local organizations ready to launch or expand discrete, community‑focused cancer‑control efforts with a modest infusion of up to $10,000.
