be used to fund community projects that address needs anywhere along the cancer continuum, from projects that promote ways to reduce the risk of developing the disease to detection efforts, treatment and, ultimately, efforts that support survivors. Any organization

<span lang="EN">The Community Partnership Program was designed to provide communities with the resources they need to tailor cancer-related projects so they work to meet the specific needs of their residents. Early stage grants provide up to $10,000 in funding,
developmental grants offer up to $25,000, and program advancement grants supply up to $50,000. Multiple tiers of funding offer organizations the option to apply regardless of the phase of work they are in. The support can be used to develop an initial idea
into a project. As the project evolves, organizations can apply for additional funding offered through the tiers. The goal is to offer different levels of support so projects can grow into sustainable programs for the community.
