APPLYING FOR A PHASE ONE COMMUNITY GRANT

The PHASE ONE Community Grants program focuses on ‘beyond treatment’ and emphasizes the importance of comprehensive support throughout the cancer continuum - this includes prevention, early education, and mental health services.

Our goal is to provide those living with cancer and their families with much-needed support, as well as work to educate as many as possible so that fewer patients and families are burdened by this disease.

Proposal Process

Grant proposals will be accepted by the PHASE ONE Community Grants Committee on a biannual basis. Our typical grants range from $10,000 - 60,000. We tend to fund innovative projects that we have not funded in the recent past.

The Committee focuses on funding cancer programs in Los Angeles and Southern California. It also considers grants for initiatives with broad impact on cancer patients or prevention, or those aligned with our primary mission of funding clinical trials.

Prospective grantees will go through a 3-step process (not all applicants will be invited to move on to subsequent steps):

*During the presentation, the committee will ask specific questions regarding the program, budget, timeline, etc. We ask that all presentations include slides, and the prospective grantee should plan to present for 20 minutes maximum.

Final award approval is made by the PHASE ONE Board of Directors.
