The Pink Ribbon Foundation is a grant-making trust with a mission to offer grants to organisations working in the field of breast cancer. Many of the charities supported by the Foundation are smaller organisations that operate on a shoestring. Initiatives that promote a positive message about living with breast cancer are particularly welcomed, while applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic organisations are positively encouraged.
The Foundation operates an annual grants programme that provides capital, project or revenue grants up to £6,000 (this was previously £5,000) for projects, activities and services that:
1. Advance public education in the understanding of breast cancer, its early detection and treatment, in particular but not exclusively by commissioning, or conducting, research into the causes, detection and treatment of breast cancer and by disseminating the results of such research, and
2. Relieve the needs of people who are suffering from, or have been affected by, breast cancer by providing, or assisting in the provision of, information, care or emotional, practical and financial support.
During the year ended 30th September 2023, the Foundation awarded 84 grants totalling £361,388 (2022: 53 grants totalling £307,082; 2021: 51 grants totalling £182,219; 2010: 56 grants totalling £202,649).
A list of all grant recipients over the previous 2 years can be viewed on pages 16-18 of the Foundation’s annual accounts.
