Mission & Focus Areas
The Coalition’s mission is to improve health outcomes by reducing barriers to complete colorectal cancer screening and educating the public to advocate for their own health through tailored, local, grassroots solutions.
Its Get Your Rear in Gear grants support programs that remove barriers to screening, educate the public about signs and symptoms, reduce patients’ financial burden, and fund research. The Coalition also identifies education and awareness, patient and caregiver support, and advocacy as funding categories.
Its 2025 grantees illustrate the range of organizations supported. Best Christmas Ever says it serves families facing difficult circumstances; The Brooklyn Hospital Center says it provides health services, education, and research; and Boston Health Care for the Homeless says it works to provide or assure access to health care for people and families experiencing homelessness. Other 2025 recipients describe missions involving cancer survivorship, caregiver support, free clinical care, health education, or charitable primary care.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2025, the Coalition reported 37 grants totaling $921,119. Awards ranged from $5,050 to $75,000, with a median of $20,000. Notable grants included $75,000 to Jefferson University for clinical research; $60,000 to Kintegra Health for screening; and $50,000 each to Best Christmas Ever for patient funding, the Institute for Cancer Research for research, and MCCRF for research. Other examples include $48,000 to The Brooklyn Hospital Center for patient funding and $41,750 to Operation Access for a screening program.
The Get Your Rear in Gear grant application requires applicants to be in a local event area. Applications are accepted year-round and reviewed in February and August. Applicants should have a program budget, supporting documents, a current W-9, organization logo, and any applicable prior grant recap forms ready. Applicants must commit to promoting the local event. Funds cannot pay salaries or indirect expenses; screening and patient-support grants are prioritized, and grants must be colorectal-cancer-related. Recipients must submit a recap upon completion or within 12 months, and must complete a prior-year recap before applying for a new grant.
The ACT Clinic Partnership is a separate in-kind program: it supplies colorectal-cancer screening kits to partner clinics rather than cash. Applicants must describe how patients with positive results will be navigated to colonoscopy, including coverage and gaps in care.
