The WBCI aims to raise awareness and fund breast cancer programs in Wyoming with an emphasis on increasing breast health education, financially assisting breast cancer screenings, facilitating patient navigation, and promoting survivor services. Through fundraising efforts across the state, proceeds remain in Wyoming to grant into eligible programs.
The Wyoming Breast Cancer Initiative was established in 2016 under the fiscal sponsorship of the Wyoming Community Foundation when there was a need for a statewide breast health organization. We received our own 501(c)3 status in 2019. Our granting goal is $75,000-$100,000 annually to Wyoming only breast health programs that match our mission.
WBCI Community Grants are competitive grants that are awarded to projects providing vital breast health services to Wyoming residents. Grant funding categories include education and awareness, screening & diagnostic services, patient navigation, and survivor support services. Funds Raised in Wyoming, Granted in Wyoming.
