We do not fund general operating expenses.

Applicants selected for community grant awards will receive 80% of the funds upon award. The remaining 20% will be awarded pending the completion of the program/service and submission of an evaluation to Boston North Cancer Association. This evaluation is to include: total number of people served, total cost of program, explanation of how BNCA was recognized, and a narrative detailing the outcomes/results of the program funded. Evaluation must be submitted at the conclusion of the program via email to [email protected].
