Deadline to apply: November 30, 2026 by 11:55 PM
Guidelines:
- Funds are available up to $5,000 per organization. You may request less.
- Approximately 15 organizations across Wisconsin will be funded. We encourage people across the state to apply. Organizations applying should be based in Wisconsin.
- Funds must be used by organizations that offer psychosocial support to cancer survivors (such as support groups or survivorship classes including exercise) and/or caregivers.
- Activities should occur during June 30, 2026 and June 29, 2027.
- Excluded activities include: travel, conferences, health fairs, survivor day events, raffles and "goodie bags". Fundraising and political advocacy activities are not eligible for funding.
- Eligible organizations include health systems, community clinics, tribal health systems, or community-based non-profit organizations. Activities should align with cancer survivorship activities included in the Wisconsin Cancer Plan 2020-2030. Proposed activities will be reviewed to ensure they meet our requirements.
- Multiple projects within a same organization are welcome to apply. However, WCC must cap the overall amount given to an organization at $5,000 total, regardless of number of projects.
- A detailed plan of the proposed use of funding must be included in your application.
- If chosen, a completed overview of the use of funding and 2025 W9 must be provided for Wisconsin Cancer Collaborative evaluation purposes. (For example, number of survivors served.)
- Not a member of the Wisconsin Cancer Collaborative? You are still eligible to apply (but will be required to join upon receipt of notice of award).
