The Betty Ann Moore Community Grants Program:
In 2007, we funded our first round of community grants establishing the Betty Ann Moore Community Grants program. We have successfully funded over 20 programs and over 1,000 screenings statewide. All grants are reviewed based on a number of criteria, which includes: a programs in-kind contributions, its geographic location in South Carolina and its participation in other statewide programs related to colorectal cancer education, awareness or screening.

This is a statewide effort to raise funds to unmask colon cancer through increased awareness, education, screening, and research. Our overall goal with these grants is to broaden both the number of and location of participants in the colorectal cancer effort in our state. Proceeds from our annual Unmasking Colon Cancer Ball supports this grant program.

Funding Opportunity for Colorectal Screening Activities Statewide
In 2008, the Center for Colon Cancer Research at USC established the Betty Ann Moore Community Grant program.  We are seeking applications to support local communities and medical providers’ efforts to provide colonoscopy screening to low income uninsured and underinsured persons in South Carolina. Four to five grants for up to $10,000 each will be awarded to successful applicants. Applications are due on August 23, 2010. Applicants for these funds must partner with a physician member of the South Carolina Gastroenterology Association. Click on one of the links below for more information.
