The Prevent Cancer Foundation's 2024-2026 Community Grant Program is designed to empower individuals to proactively manage their cancer risk through prevention and early detection. This initiative directly aligns with the Foundation's mission to stay ahead of cancer, providing crucial resources for community-level activities focused on cancer prevention—including education and vaccination—and screening. The program aims to support projects that will have a significant positive impact, particularly in underserved and disproportionately affected communities across the United States, including tribal areas and territories. The target beneficiaries of this program are communities that face structural inequities and are historically marginalized. The primary impact goal is to reduce cancer incidence and improve early detection rates within these populations. Awarded projects will be selected through a competitive cycle, with a strong emphasis on initiatives that actively work to dismantle systemic barriers to healthcare. This includes engaging individuals with lived experiences and ensuring that patient navigators, staff, and leadership reflect the priority population being served, thereby fostering culturally sensitive care. Key priorities for funding include projects that address an unmet need within an organization or community, make intentional efforts to reach historically underserved groups, and involve community members in all stages—planning, implementation, and evaluation. Furthermore, the Foundation prioritizes projects that contribute to systemic change and demonstrate sustainability beyond the grant period. The theory of change underpinning this program is that by investing in community-led prevention and early detection efforts, particularly in vulnerable populations, the Foundation can create lasting improvements in health outcomes and reduce cancer-related disparities. The expected outcomes of the grants are a measurable increase in cancer prevention knowledge, vaccination rates, and early detection screenings in targeted communities. Successful projects will demonstrate a tangible positive impact, contributing to the Foundation's strategic priority of promoting health equity and preventing cancer before it starts or finding it at its most treatable stages. The Foundation will provide $100,000 grants over two years ($50,000 per year), with the expectation that these funds will enable comprehensive and impactful interventions that can extend their benefits well beyond the initial grant duration.

Funding Priorities or Focus Areas • IDHS is working to counteract systemic racism and inequity, and to prioritize and maximize diversity throughout its service provision process. This work involves addressing existing institutionalized inequities, aiming to create transformation, and operationalizing equity and racial justice. It also focuses on the creation of a culture of inclusivity for all regardless of race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or ability. Project Description • The Grantee must deliver mental health services to individuals who are Deaf, Hard of Hearing or DeafBlind by utilizing a culturally affirmative approach. This approach will adhere to the Americans with Disabilities Act. Each of these minority populations have unique cultural and linguistic needs, which are not exclusively homogeneous. Therefore, the culturally affirmative approach must serve these populations in an individualized manner. An individual who is Deaf, Hard of Hearing or DeafBlind, that is served by this grant funding, may reside or be originally from any county in Illinois. The cultural affirmative service delivery must provide any level of outpatient mental health service delivered by staff who directly provide such in the individual’s language and communication mode. Additionally, these staff will exhibit a distinct knowledge base, specialized clinical skills, and specialized cultural linguistic skills. The service delivery may also include staff who exhibit a knowledge base in serving these minority populations, and utilize reasonable accommodations for the individual’s language needs and communication modes. The Grantee’s staff providing mental health services may include, but are not limited to: case managers, therapists, counselors, and/or psychiatrists. The Grantee must communicate in an accessible manner, by utilizing Video Phones, TTYs, licensed sign language interpreters and/or other reasonable accommodations according to the individual’s needs. There are community networks across the state of Illinois that serve as a separate referral source for these populations. In these networks, information is communicated on how and where to access these services that are delivered in a cultural affirmative approach. The Grantee must serve as an embedded entity of these community networks as it relates to their cultural affirmative service delivery of mental health services. The Grantee’s staff will outreach, collaborate, and network across various service systems to effectively address these challenges. As part of this, the Grantee will assist individuals served in addressing the complex language, cultural, clinical, and administrative challenges when navigating the various service systems and their associated processes. Most often, these systems’ information is not readily accessible in the population’s native language and communication mode. Specifically, the Grantee’s staff will assist individuals in identifying and linking to other applicable providers, how to access their services, and/or apply for applicable benefits. Additionally, there is an absence of any evidence-based mental health treatment developed for or evaluated for use with these populations. The grantee must adapt evidence-based mental health treatment using an effective and culturally affirmative approach. This must include but is not limited to: consideration of the individual’s culture, community, beliefs, thinking and learning style, communication mode(s), and language needs. This funding is designated to support costs associated with cultural affirmative service delivery approach; the necessary outreach, networking, and collaboration necessary as an embedded entity providing for these populations; adaptation of evidence-based mental health treatment; and paying for licensed sign language interpreter services. The mental health services provided are billed to Healthcare and Family Services’ Illinois Medicaid as well as any of their associated Medicaid Managed Care Organizations (MCOs). Therefore, the Grantee must also have certification as (Comprehensive) Community Mental Health Center (CMHC), as defined in Part 132, Subparts B and C.
