• Early Detection & Education
• Palliative Care

• Treatment Access

Key Criteria for Funding

Transformation: Focus on projects where GFC can make a transformational difference. Particular interest in early-stage projects, harder to fund needs, and underfunded programs.

Collaboration: Organizations with a track record of working collaboratively across the cancer community, with a clear plan to include patients, families, and caregivers in their efforts.

Financial and Programmatic Capacity: Applicants must demonstrate stability, a solid financial and program management team, a strong balance sheet, and program plans to ensure sustainability beyond GFC's financial commitment.
