Co-Funding Partnerships

In addition to biannual grantmaking, CARE Fund actively seeks co-funding partnerships with other organizations and funders. These partnerships are considered year-round and are not limited to the January and June grant cycles. By collaborating with other funders, private philanthropy, and other grantmakers, CARE Fund can help create new opportunities to leverage public and private funds for cancer research and related initiatives. rnrnCo-funding partnerships enable CARE Fund to invest or co-invest in innovative projects and interventions that may not be addressed through CARE Fund’s standard grant programs.
