Community Grant Funding Opportunity
The Masonic Cancer Alliance is excited to announce that the 2025-2026 Community Grant Program Request for Applications (RFA) is now available for organizations in Kansas and western Missouri. We know that one of the best ways to impact cancers in our region is to partner with community organizations and community members. The purpose of this funding is to establish or enhance a bi-directional relationship between the funded organizations and The University of Kansas Cancer Center – Masonic Cancer Alliance. We are looking forward to collaborating with a new cohort of grantees in 2025-2026.
The complete RFA can be viewed here.
