Mission & Focus Areas
IBCAT’s mission is to increase awareness and improve access to breast cancer screening, diagnosis and support services throughout Indiana. Its Breast Health Services Grant Program supports screening and diagnostic services for uninsured or underinsured people in financial need, and projects addressing unmet breast health and breast cancer patient support needs.
In 2025, the Nancy Jaynes Memorial Scholarship offered awards of up to $2,500 to Indiana high school seniors whose parent was battling breast cancer or had died from it. The filing also describes a patient assistance program for people with breast cancer at or below 300% of the poverty level, providing grocery and gas cards; 150 patients received assistance in 2025. This assistance is for individuals, not grants to outside applicants.
The 2025 grantees illustrate the kinds of organizations IBCAT has supported. United Health Services describes its work as providing direct services, education, resources and awareness related to health care needs including breast health. Gennesaret Free Clinic says it provides medical, dental and vision care to uninsured and underinsured people. Cancer Services of Grant County describes its mission as increasing cancer survival rates and supporting families facing cancer in the county. Parkview Hospital says it works to improve community health and provide quality health services.
