For Grants to Benefit Cancer Victims or Their Families
in California
The deadline for grant applications was April 4, 2006.
Applications are no longer being accepted.
The California Attorney General solicited applications from nonprofit
organizations and public agencies for grants to benefit cancer
victims or their families in California. Because of the nature
of the settlement funds, grants were made on a one-time basis for
specific projects and not general operating support. Funding was
not available for conducting scientific, medical, clinical or academic
research. Grants ranged in size from $75,000 to $150,000 and will
be for a maximum of one year.
