We are committed to transparency, both in how we allocate our funding and in how that funding is utilized. While we require stringent reporting from every one of our grantees, what distinguishes us from other foundations is that we visit each of our grantees to hear about the impact of our allocations firsthand.

All of our supporters, and those interested in learning more about BCA, are welcome.

If you would like to attend any of these visits, to be held on Zoom in 2022, please email info@ breastcanceralliance.org.
