The UW Carbone Cancer Center’s Community Outreach and Engagement team is seeking reviewers for our inaugural Community Grants Program (2025–2026), which will fund local projects that reduce cancer burden through prevention, early detection, education, and support. A total of $50,000 will be awarded in grants of $2,500–$10,000 to community-driven initiatives following the Wisconsin Road Show 2025.
Projects should reflect local needs, involve community members in planning and implementation, and address social factors influencing cancer risk and care.
