The Maine Cancer Foundation offers funding for projects in Maine that help patients navigate cancer care by connecting patients with support and resources, reducing any barriers patients may face, and ensuring all patients have access to quality cancer care.

Proposed projects should focus on:

• Efforts that will reduce cancer incidence and mortality rates in Maine
• Projects that support geographically underserved regions of Maine and individuals who are marginalized and/or have an increased risk for cancer, including but not limited to, uninsured or underinsured individuals, rural populations, racial and ethnic minorities, and/or the LGBTQIA+ community

Eligible applicants include 501(c)3 tax exempt charitable organizations; educational institutions; government entities; and other public, nonprofit entities.

Award ceiling:

• Year 1: Up to $80,000
• Year 2: 70% of year one
• Year 3: 35% of year one
