Judges and Lawyers Breast Cancer Alert (JALBCA) provides grants to support legal and social services to breast cancer victims and their families, particularly those who could not otherwise afford them, as well as education and training efforts and early detection initiatives. Grant funds are raised by our Lawyers' Division at our annual dinner and through donations and membership dues.
GRANT FACTS
TO WHOM DOES JALBCA MAKE GRANTS?
JALBCA makes grants only to nonprofit organizations on a project basis. Projects must fit within JALBCA's mission in order to receive funding. JALBCA does not fund individuals.
Our Mission: “Focusing on the intersection of the law and breast cancer, to leverage the legal community’s strength, passion, resources and expertise to promote awareness, early detection, treatment and support for all those affected by breast cancer; to provide programs that educate members of the profession about critical medical, legal and personal issues around breast cancer; to support the breast cancer community at large by supporting and funding major, well-integrated legal and legally-related counseling support programs, as well as state-of-the-art early detection initiatives."
JALBCA’s focus is on New York and, therefore, it would prefer projects focused within the State of New York. However, as JALBCA has done in the past, it will consider funding nationwide projects that are consistent with and promote its mission.
