The Prevent Cancer Foundation is investing in projects focused on cancer prevention and early detection in rural communities from organizations located in the communities they serve.

Funding priorities:

• Fill an unmet need within the organization or community, with an emphasis on direct services to community members, specifically cancer screenings, vaccinations, and patient navigation support
• Have established trust and partnerships within the community they are serving
• Make intentional efforts to reach medically underserved rural populations with culturally sensitive care, especially Tribal communities and American Indian/Alaskan Native populations
• Engage community members and people with lived experience in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of the project
• Ensure the organization's patient navigators, staff, and leadership reflect the priority population the organization is serving
• Address structural barriers to receiving healthcare and/or create systemic change
• Serve all patients regardless of status or ability to pay
• Demonstrate sustainability and impact can extend beyond the duration of the grant period
• Projects led by independent clinics and organizations
