2020 Colorado Cancer Plan Implementation Grants
The Colorado Cancer Coalition is soliciting project proposals that support the 2016-2020 Colorado Cancer Plan. The intent of the Request for Proposals (RFP) is to fund projects help reduce the burden of cancer in Colorado including work that curbs cancer mortality, improves prevention, early detection and quality of life, and addresses disparities in health outcomes. Successful grant applications will incorporate objectives and/or strategies from the 2016-2020 Colorado Cancer Plan.
| COLORADO CANCER FUND OVERVIEW |
| The Colorado Cancer Fund is a voluntary check-off program on the Colorado State Income Tax Form. The goal of the Colorado Cancer Fund is to help reduce the burden of cancer in Colorado by improving early detection and expanding existing education, screening and quality-of-life services throughout Colorado for populations who are under-resourced. The Colorado Cancer Fund is a program of the Colorado Cancer Coalition (referred to as the Coalition throughout this document), which serves as the statewide collaborative working to eliminate the burden of cancer in Colorado. Other funding sources, as identified by the Coalition, may also contribute to the grants. Potential grantees will be notified what sources of funding are allocated to their project.
