EMCAW Grants Programme

Thank you for your interest in applying for EMCAW Grant. 2011 EMCAW Grant is now closed.

What is an EMCAW Grant?

This grant programme is funded by Cancer Equality to help community organisations/charities host an event during Ethnic Minority Cancer Awareness Week (EMCAW) between 11- 17 July 2011.* The aim of the event must be to raise awareness about any cancer, its risk factors, signs, symptoms, possible prevention and treatments. The event should be aimed at Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) communities. A small grant will be awarded of up to £250.

* If you are proposing to hold your event outside of the dates please contact us to discuss.
