Sample Grant Proposal: BREAST CANCER AWARENESS
FIT WITH FOUNDATION GOALS
We feel our project supports the goals of two of the Foundations grantmaking programs:
Human Needs (Community Education) and Environment (Environmental Education). By
using forums, a newsletter, and newspaper articles to reach the women of Marin with
information about breast cancer and current research, we seek to involve the community
in the promotion of womens health. By teaming with the local schools and the Pacific
Environment and Resources Center, we seek to educate young people on linkages
between health and the environment. And finally, by promoting further research on the
causes of Marin Countys breast cancer rate, the highest in the world, we seek to create
sound scientific knowledge that will inform public policy and allow a thoughtful
approach to this health crisis.
