Stay tuned for next grant cycle.

Pink Alliance is delighted to announce its Grant Initiative Program to benefit women with limited means in the Brazos Valley through support and programs for breast cancer health. Over the past year, 600 of these women in the Brazos Valley have received mammograms, including ultrasounds and biopsies for diagnostic services. Additionally, women going through cancer treatment have benefitted from prostheses, compression garments, and lymphedema pumps. Pink Alliance and its partnering support agencies are making a difference in the lives of hundreds of women who need breast cancer screening and support services.

GRANT POLICY

Applications seeking funding up to $30,000 are welcome.

Pink Alliance serves as the Brazos Valley's advocate for breast health and cancer support by providing reliable, informative resources; inspiring hope through individual and group support; and offering access to medical treatments for those with limited means. Pink Alliance hosts an annual community breast cancer awareness luncheon, Surviving & Thriving, which celebrates cancer survivorship and furthers breast cancer awareness efforts. Proceeds from Surviving & Thriving and other Pink Alliance fundraising events serve to fund the organization's annual grant program.

Pink Alliance accepts applications for breast health and cancer support grants of up to $30,000 for programs and initiatives that will support the organization's mission of providing informative resources and offering medical treatments to those with limited means in the Brazos Valley.

The Pink Alliance Grant initiative will consider funding requests to support effective, established programs, or to help launch innovative, new programs.
