Avon Foundation Breast Care Fund Invites Applications for Early Detection Programs

Deadline: August 28, 2009

The Avon Foundation Breast Care Fund has released its 2010 Request for Applications. Funding is awarded to organizations providing access to clinical breast exams, mammograms, and education for low-income, minority, underserved, underinsured, and uninsured women in the United States. All programs must utilize the three-part approach to breast cancer early detection that includes regular screening mammography, clinical breast examination, and breast self-examination. The primary objective of the fund is to ensure that medically underserved women receive annual breast screening and proper follow-up care.
