The Tutu Project awarded grants based on a non-profit organization’s alignment with the program’s mission, which is to provide financial support and counseling, helping to relieve the financial and emotional burdens that come with breast cancer diagnoses. While we do not distribute funding directly to patients, we have high expectations for all of our partners. Breast cancer patients can contact them directly to find out how to get help with their current financial or emotional needs.
