The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center has announced a Community Grant Program to build sustainable outreach and research capacity with diverse communities in Washington State.
Donor Name: Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center
State: Washington
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline (mm/dd/yyyy): 02/28/2022
Grant Size: $2,500-$10,000
Details:
The goal of this program is to address and potentially improve multiple social determinants of health among underrepresented communities in Washington state, including but not limited to racial, ethnic, physical and mental ability, gender, sexual identity, geographic location, income, education disparities. Potential projects may include: (1) identifying unmet need(s) within a defined community, (2) exploring or testing solutions to health disparities issues, (3) increasing the understanding of factors that influence the health of diverse, racial, ethnic, and underserved communities.
Cancer health inequities are differences in cancer outcomes, such as screening rates, incidence (new cases), stage at diagnosis, mortality (deaths), quality of life after cancer treatment and survivorship that often place underrepresented populations at a disadvantage.
Therefore, the goals of the community grant funding are:
- address significant health inequities within affected communities
- implement projects to address a community identified need
- maintain collaborative activities with key partners
Funding Information
Grants range from $2,500-$10,000.

Services must be provided in Washington state or serve residents in Washington. Applicants must have experience working with/in diverse racial, ethnic and underserved communities.
